9 October 2015 APFF Roundtable Q. 20, 2015-0595681C6 F - Avantages imposables / dépenses d’entreprise -- summary under Paragraph 6(1)(a)

It is "the CRA’s position is that when an employer offers free-of-charge, to all employees, a party or other social event, there is no taxable benefit if the cost per party or other social event does not exceed $100 per person." CRA confirmed that this position extends to a "5 to 7"(congregating for free after-work drinks) or a team lunch of a social nature.

"When the usage of a bike stand area [on the employer’s facilities] by an employee is difficult to quantify and measure, the CRA is of the view that a benefit is not required to be included in computing the income of the employee who uses the bike parking stand." Furthermore, "the furnishing of internal recreational facilities of the employer offered to all the employees does not give rise to a taxable benefit to them."
