Corporate gifts in Australia: what they cost and the tax rules

Updated 31 October 2026

Corporate gifts in Australia cost from about A$23 for a small branded item to about A$170 for a hamper, approximately, according to sellers' websites, October 2026. Engraved drinks sets and wooden boxes sit in the middle. For a quote for your team, describe the number of gifts and the budget per gift on BlaBlaPrice.

Ask whether a quote includes branding, packing and delivery, since the listings do not show it.

Tax rules for gifts to staff and clients

Gifts valued under A$300 including GST per employee, given infrequently, can be tax deductible. One gift a year at the end of the financial year clearly qualifies. Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is a separate rule that businesses often overlook, so check it before you give gifts to employees.

Limits for government recipients

If the recipients are Australian government officials, the Prime Minister and Cabinet guidelines limit official gifts to A$750 from government sources and A$300 from private or industry sources. A declaration must be made within 28 days of receipt. Some organisations' gift policies also ask for a declaration above A$150, so check the policy of the recipient's organisation.

When to order

Plan around the end of the financial year on 30 June and the December to February holiday period, when many teams send gifts. Order with enough time for branding and packing, and ask whether a seller can deliver to one address for distribution or to each office in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide.

What to write in the request

Give the number of gifts, the budget per gift, who receives them and the occasion. Say whether you need branding or engraving, how the gifts should be packed, the date they are needed by and the delivery city.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the gifts in your own words in a chat, and a photo of the item can be added. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer, price and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. For ideas see gifts and gift boxes & packaging.
