Something to Consider

When you use TAMU funds to give a TAMU employee a gift that costs more than $100 or a gift certificate of any amount, the employee pays income tax on the value of the gift. Before giving a gift, you may want to consider whether the employee will like it enough to want to pay taxes on it.
