Benefits-in-kind


In generally, all gains and profits derived by an employee in respect of his employment are taxable, unless they are specially exempt from income tax. Gains and profits could include cash payments or benefits-in-kind (BIK) provided to the employee.

Certain BIK are often overlooked or difficult to allocate and assign to specific employees. As a result, the IRAS recently granted two new administrative concessions with effect from 1 January 2004.

  • Free or Subsidised Food and Drinks and Transportation services
  • Healthcare Benefits
  • Special company functions, certain facilities, and corporate gifts
  • Creativity / Innovation Awards
  • Upgrading skills/ knowledge building
  • Gift for Special Occasions
