WSB tax tip: Tax-privileged salary extras - Making the best use of the recreation allowance
Treat your employees to tax-privileged summer benefits.
As an employer, you can boost your employees' vacation funds by paying them tax-privileged vacation allowances.
- The tax authorities recognize the following amounts per year:
- 156.00 Euro for the employees
- 104.00 euros for their spouses and life partners
- 52.00 euros for each of your children
For a family with two children, you can pay out 364.00 euros.
You can pay a flat-rate wage tax of 25 % on the allowances so that your employees do not even have to pay tax on them. There are no social security contributions.
- But watch out!
The tax office will only cooperate if you clearly state the vacation benefits in your payroll documents as a "recreational allowance" and pay them out for the specific purpose of the vacation!
You have to treat yourself - for your company too.
Not only do you get a relaxed, cheerful and demonstrably better working team. In the long term, you will also bind your employees more closely to your company.
