Erfassung von Geschenken
Der Schenkende kann dies mit einer Pauschalversteuerung übernehmen, wobei hier ebenfalls Wertgrenzen zu beachten sind.

different groups have different thresholds up to which a gift is tax free.
Beyond that gifts are taxable.
Does this mean the giver of the gift can account for the gift as a lump-sum?

English translation:cover this via flat-rate taxation
Explanation:
The giver can cover this via flat-rate taxation, however also in this case value thresholds apply.

Assuming this refers to gifts given to employees. Different tax rates apply whether an employee is taxed for a gift/benefit as benefit in kind or if the employer takes over taxes (it is a gift after all, so you don't want to make the employee pay for it) at a reduced tax rate. I chose cover, because the employer does not take over taxation in the same extent as the employee would be taxed. The giver does not pay a lump sum, but a reduced tax rate on the gift value.

As far as I know, gifts to externals/customers are not taxed, but can rather be claimed as cost.
