De minimis benefits are facilities and privileges given to employees by their employers that are not subject to income tax and withholding tax on compensation income. They are intended to support and promote the health, goodwill, and morale of employees. The term "de minimis" comes from the Latin phrase "de minimis non curat lex," which means "the law does not concern itself with trifles." In other words, de minimis benefits are relatively of small value.
