Luxembourg has no single codified rule setting a gift-tax threshold, but two administrative tolerances from the Administration des contributions directes (ACD) give employers a clear practical framework: up to €53 per employee per year for personal-occasion gifts, and up to €125 per event for gift vouchers. That's room for genuinely thoughtful gifts, not just a token bottle of wine at Christmas. Below are 20 branded merchandise ideas spanning apparel, drinkware, tech, bags, and stationery, at a range of price points, to help you build a gifting programme employees actually use while staying inside those tolerances.
What makes a good tax-tolerant gift?
With two separate tolerances to work with, a €53 annual cap for personal occasions and a €125 per-event allowance for vouchers, it's worth choosing items that earn their place rather than gather dust in a drawer. A few things to look for:
- Everyday usefulness: something they'll actually reach for, at their desk, on the commute, or at the gym.
- Quality that reflects your brand: a well-made bottle or backpack says more about your company than a cheap giveaway.
- Room to mix price points: combine a few higher-value items for vouchers or events with smaller everyday pieces for personal-occasion gifts.
- Easy, tidy branding: a subtle embroidered logo tends to work better for personal gifts than a large printed logo.
