fringe benefit rates will be applied to the total transaction amount (gift plus gross-up, if applicable), creating an incremental cost to the issuing department. Non-monetary awards/gifts
should be held to a "de minimis" level so as not to result in tax liability for the staff member receiving the award. Read more...
