We would like to give our employees £4.99 so they can sign up for the Blue Light discount card which gives them discounts across various stores/ venues etc.
The employee has to sign up themselves, we cannot as a company sign them up and so we will need to reimburse them the £4.99 subscription fee, how can I do this without incurring tax and NI on the reimbursement or triggering a taxable benefit?
It will be offered to all employees.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at the trivial benefit rules - see if you can fit your scheme to that. Cash to employees will always be subject to PAYE/NI.
It'd be outside the trivial benefit rules anyway, given any decent reading of the legislation. (No offense to the previous respondent.)
How much are you willing to pay to save tax and NIC on £4.99?
