FAQ
The expiry date of meal vouchers depends on the provider.
Until cards like the one from Cobee arrived, companies provided each employee with as many vouchers as there were working days in the month. The disadvantage of that system is that many employees find themselves with a whole bunch of vouchers they “have” to use at the end of the month so they don’t go to waste. To give companies and employees more flexibility and control, Cobee lets the company set whatever criteria it wants. It can give employees complete freedom, the only restriction being the €220 per month limit defined by law for Salary Sacrifice, or it can set certain specific consumption criteria. For example: the card can only be used on working days and between certain hours of the day.
As from 1 January 2018, the law states that restaurant vouchers are tax-exempt up to €11 per working day. Usually, the monthly maximum is considered to be €220. Any amounts above this are not tax exempt. If the company decides to do so, employees can save up their Cobee balance and spend more on certain days than on others. This is one of the advantages that employees value most highly.
A few years ago, vouchers on paper were the only option that existed. Nowadays, in order to offer a better experience to employees, that paper has been transformed into a card that brings a number of advantages. Cobee is committed to complete independence from the company for employees. This means a huge administrative workload can be lifted from the company: there is no need to hand out vouchers monthly or on a regular basis but rather the employee can make use of the card at their own pace. Employees value the ability to freely choose the place and amount they want to spend very highly.
That will depend on the terms and conditions set by the company, and the advantages and flexibility offered by the platform. Generally speaking though, yes, they can also be used for dinners because employees are given greater flexibility and more ways to use them..
By using the Cobee card, employees will save up to 30%* of what they spend on meals due to the tax exemption enjoyed by this benefit, which will mean an increase to their available net income. Furthermore, companies can deduct those same amounts from the figure used to calculate Corporate Income Tax.
We want to make it even easier for you: unlike traditional meal vouchers or other platforms, the Cobee revolution means there is no need for monthly top-ups. You can adjust the amounts offered to your employees whenever you want and they can save up their balance to spend it whenever they want, at their own pace.
You will enjoy an all-in-one platform that is fully digital for tracking the status of each employee and therefore enable or disable their cards immediately, hassle-free.
