About Electronic Meal Vouchers
Extensive possibilities of use
The most important features?
-
2-in-1 Card
You only need one card to pay for meals and leisure time services or products. The card is smart and automatically recognizes whether to pay with meal e-vouchers and where the budget for benefits is required.
-
No need to check your balance
By connecting your private payment card to your Benefit Plus card, you won't have to keep track of your balance. You can also top up your credit with your private payment card to keep your budget under control.
-
Unlimited validity
Each time new benefit points are added, the meal e-vouchers' validity is extended by 2 years. That means that employees with open-ended contracts have vouchers with unlimited validity.
Example of a Meal Voucher Worth 123,90 CZK
In 2025, the maximum tax-deductible meal allowance provided by the employer is set at 177 CZK per day. Of this amount, 70% (i.e., 123,90 CZK) can be claimed as a tax-deductible expense. Meal vouchers exceeding 123,090 CZK are subject to the same tax implications as regular wages. Thanks to the consolidation package, employees are no longer required to contribute 45% towards the value of meal vouchers. If we maintain the model where the employer covers 55% and the employee 45%, the optimal nominal meal voucher value would be 225 CZK.
