In light of the new year, we bring encouraging news about food stamps for 2024. Given the current economic situation and the rising cost of lunch, the optimal value of a food stamp has increased. So don’t wait, and increase the value of meal vouchers stravenka and eStravenka for your employees as soon as possible.
What is the new meal allowance?
The new nominal value of the meal allowance is CZK 211, which is a noticeable increase that reflects the current economic situation and rising food prices. For employers, this allowance is still tax advantageous, with 70% of the value of the meal voucher (up to CZK 116.20) being tax-free income for the employee.
This change allows companies to support their employees more effectively in these challenging times. Increasing the face value of the meal vouchers is simple and requires no additional paperwork. Simply select the new value of the meal voucher on your next order.
In addition, switching to digital eStraventions cards brings additional benefits such as reduced administrative burden and increased employee satisfaction. With the eStravenka, you save the time and costs associated with ordering and distributing traditional paper meal vouchers.
From January 2023, the daily meal allowance for business trips will increase by CZK 13. This increase is significant, but still smaller than in 2022, when the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs responded to inflation with two increases in meal allowances, totalling CZK 35. The figure below shows the evolution of the meal allowance over time.
In light of these developments, we can confidently say that the 2024 meal vouchers bring a positive change that supports both employees and employers in the current economic environment.
