De minimis benefits are benefits in the nature of facilities or privilege furnished or offered by an employer to his employees that are of relatively small value, and are offered or furnished by the merely as a means of promoting the health, goodwill, contentment, or efficiency of his employees.The BIR exempts de minimis benefits pursuant to Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 3-98, as amended. Examples of de minimis benefits include contributions of the employer for the benefit of the employee to retirement, insurance and hospitalization benefit plans; or certain benefits given to rank and file, whether granted under a collective bargaining agreement or not; or de minimis benefits; or fringe benefits to the employee which is granted is required by the nature of or necessary to the trade, business or profession of the employer; or such grant of the benefit or allowance is for the convenience of the employer.The BIR sets a limit on the value of tax-exempt de minimis benefits. Under RR 8-00, as amended by RR 10-00, the BIR considers the following as de minimis benefits:10 days monetized unused vacation leave credits;medical cash allowance to dependents of employees not exceeding P750 per semester or P125 per month;rice subsidy of P1,000.00 or one-sack of rice per month;uniforms and clothing allowance not exceeding P3,000.00 per year;medical benefits not exceeding P10,000.00;laundry allowance of P300 per month;employee achievement awards in the form of tangible personal property other than cash or gift certificate, with an annual monetary value not exceeding P10,000 received by the employee under an established written plan;flowers, fruits, books or similar items given to employees under special circumstances, e.g. on account of illness, marriage, birth of a baby, etc.; anddaily meal allowance for overtime work not exceeding 25% of the basic minimum wage.Con sidering that it is almost nin e years since they were last adjusted in 1998, the BIR may consider increasing the amount of de minimis benefits specified under its regulations to make them more realistic. Employees are completely captured by the tax net under the withholding tax system and they do not enjoy any additional deductions in computing their taxable income. The government should not deny salaried workers of the little privilege they will enjoy from higher tax-exempt de minimis benefits.

By definition a de minimus issue is one so small or of so little consequence that, in all probability it would not even be considered for legal or judicial action. If brought before a court a judge would make the decision and ruling of de mnimus. Definition: "De minimus is a Latin term that means of no significance or not worthy of consideration. In legal terms, the consequences of an act in violation of a legal requirement may be considered so small that they don't justify pursuing legal action." See below link:
When a judge pronounces a 'decree nisi ' the word nisi means unless.The word nisi is not widely used in place of unless, but the law contains many rules, comments and descriptions which are in Latin, and are used by lawyers as a shorthand way of saying something that they all understand.A good example is the legal doctrine that the law does not want its time wasted by trivialities. Long ago this was expressed in an English court as "de minimis non curat lex", or "the law does not care about trifles". An attorney who wishes to object to the judge that something is trivial just says "de minimis".
Safety is not the real concern here. The EPA mandates all refrigerant. This means that they only allow a "de minimis" release into the atmosphere. To properly remove refrigerant from a system you need to recover it into an EPA certified recovery tank. Fines for venting a system into the atmosphere go up to 50,000 US dollars.
