The new minimum value of a meal voucher will be EUR 3.60 .

Employer

If the employer provides employees with meal vouchers, the minimum amount of contribution is 55% of the value of the meal voucher, which represents the amount of EUR 1.98 (3.60 x 0.55) as of June 2018. Since June, the employer may contribute by the maximum amount of EUR 2.64, which represents the amount of 55% of the sum EUR 4.80. The employer is allowed to provide a higher amount, but only EUR 2.64 may be included in tax expenditures. An employee who spends more than 4 hours in a given day at work is eligible for meal vouchers. That means if the employee works for 4 or fewer hours, he/she is not eligible for subsistence.

Self-employed person / Tradesman

The amendment also applies to self-employed persons (tradesmen). The amount of subsistence fees that the tradesman may include in tax expenditures has increased. The maximum amount is EUR 4.80 for every day at work. If the tradesman works at the weekend, he/she may include subsistence fees for Saturday and Sunday.
