Gifts to employees on retirement

The Finance Division website sets out the current rules on gifts to staff.

Further advice on any tax implications can be sought from the Head of Accounting Services. Any amount collected by colleagues within the department is not currently subject to any tax liability and it is up to departments to decide how this should be organised. 

It is hoped that a Pro-Vice-Chancellor or one of the Proctors or Pro-Proctors will be available to attend the departmental presentation which mark retirements for staff with 40+ years of service.  Departments should contact the Proctors’ Office about the arrangements at the appropriate time.
