Tax Advantages
The little extra that makes your employees' vacation even more relaxing. Help your team recharge and gain new energy.
The recovery allowance enables your entire team to recharge outside the office. This subsidy helps finance vacations, wellness activities, or other restorative experiences – showing that you truly care about work-life balance.
156 Euros per employee, 104 Euros per spouse, and 52 Euros per child per year.
The recuperation allowance makes a significant contribution to improving employee satisfaction and work performance. In contrast to traditional vacation pay, the recreation allowance can also be taxed at a flat rate up to a certain amount and thus remain non-contributory.
According to Section 1 (1) sentences 1 and 2 of the German Social Security Remuneration Ordinance (SvEV), recreational allowances are not subject to social security contributions under certain circumstances if they are granted in addition to wages or salary. In addition, a flat-rate wage tax of 25% is possible in accordance with § 40 para. 2 sentence 1 no. 3 EStG if certain conditions are met. A total of 156 euros per year is possible for the employee, 104 euros for their spouse and 52 euros for each child.
The recreation allowance offers your employees the opportunity to do something good for themselves - whether it's a relaxing weekend in the countryside, a short family vacation or a day of rest and relaxation. The benefit can be used individually to switch off and recharge your batteries.
