When planning a company anniversary celebration, you have two main options: your own company premises or an external venue. Both have their advantages.
Hosting events at your own location creates a direct connection between guests and your company. What’s more, it offers tax advantages: events held on your own premises fall under the Work-Related Expenses Scheme (WKR) and are therefore largely tax-free.
An off-site venue offers more possibilities in terms of capacity, technology, and the wow factor. Think of an industrial building, a castle, a theater setting, or a festival grounds. The venue becomes part of the story.
When making your choice, consider accessibility, capacity, technical capabilities, and whether the location fits the concept you have in mind.
