If we as a company give a gift to an employees family. My understanding would be it is only a taxable benefit for the employee when it is a close relation e.g. spouse or child. If it was for say a cousin or grandparent would this not be a taxable benefit?

Hi aisummer
Generally speaking if you give a gift to an employees family member and the reason they would get this gift is due to the relation to the employee it is by virtue of the employment and therefore taxable
Thank you.
