    Here’s what to know before celebrating the seaso Here’s what to know before celebrating the season:

You can deduct up to $25 per employee for business gifts each year. Small, thoughtful gifts like gift cards or baskets usually qualify.

100% of the cost of staff parties is typically deductible if they’re primarily for employees, not clients. That includes food, drinks, and entertainment.

Always document who attended, the purpose, and what was spent.

And don’t forget to double-check everything with your tax professional.
