New maintenance decree with
Wooow effect !

Meal vouchers now even more attractive!

What was changed in the wage tax maintenance decree?

  • Vouchers for meals in restaurants can be paid tax-free up to a value of 8 euros (until 30.06.2020 4.40 euros) per working day.
  • Restaurants are catering establishments that offer food of any kind that can be enjoyed on the spot. Purely commercial activity is not included. This means that a full menu does not have to be offered as before, and fast food chains and sausage stands are no longer specifically excluded.
  • Vouchers for payment of food (grocery stores, bakeries, butcher stores) can be paid tax-free up to an amount of 2 euros (until 30.06.2020 1.10 euros) per working day.
  • If a grocery store, bakery or butcher's store also operates a catering business, the application of the increased tax-free amount is only possible if this is separated organizationally and by its own accounting area (own cash desk), so that the redemption at the catering business is traceable.
  • The employee may redeem the vouchers both cumulatively without a daily limit in value on any day of the week (including weekends) and for meals for other persons.
  • The employee may also redeem meal vouchers by picking up the food at the restaurant or having it delivered by a delivery service and consuming it at home.

Tax savings made simple - a calculation example!

For example, a company with 100 employees saves more than 125,000 euros a year in non-wage costs when it provides lunch. Employees also save almost 45,000 euros in payroll tax and social security and can eat out tax-free.
