AURIX for Payroll

Give employees gold. Keep the tax math clean.

For employers who want real value for their people — a recurring gold Sachbezug on top of salary, never instead of it.

AURIX provides tools to help administer this benefit. We are not your tax advisor. Confirm current thresholds and eligibility with your own Steuerberater/tax advisor before relying on this for payroll or tax filing.

For employers

Big employee value. Compliance-minded by design.

AURIX for Payroll lets German and Austrian companies grant owned gold as a modern Sachbezug — employees see it in their wallet. You stay inside non-cash benefit thresholds with fixed-gram grants, additionality attestation, and export-ready documentation.

Plan types

Monthly or annual — pick one per employee.

The two regimes are mutually exclusive for the same employee. Choose the plan that matches your rewards strategy.

Monthly

€50 / mo

Targets the ~€50/employee/month tax- and social-security-free threshold. Best for a steady savings habit employees feel every month.

Annual

€10,000 / yr

Targets the ~€10,000/employee/year flat-rate regime (employer-side). A larger lump sum — not combinable with monthly for the same person.

Worked example

€50/month in gold vs. an equivalent cash raise.

Grant ~€50/month/employee as fixed grams of gold at grant time. An equivalent net cash raise typically costs more in gross salary plus employer social contributions. Exact savings depend on the employee's tax bracket — your Steuerberater owns that math.

Illustrative framing only — not tax advice.

Additionality

On top of salary. Never a swap.

German and Austrian law require the benefit to be additional (Zusätzlichkeitserfordernis). You cannot replace or reduce cash salary with gold. AURIX will not expose salary-reduction controls in the grant workflow — and every employer attests to this on apply.

FAQ

Can this replace part of salary?
No. The benefit must be additional to existing base salary. Applications require a signed additionality attestation.
Is live granting available today?
Not yet. PAYROLL_BENEFIT_LIVE is off per country until legal review and custody rails allow real grants. You can register your company for review now.
What happens after I register?
We review your application (typically 1–2 business days), then email you. Approval does not turn on live grants until the country flag is enabled.
Monthly and annual — can I mix them?
Not for the same employee. Pick monthly (~€50) or annual (~€10,000 lump-sum regime) per person.
