President Erdoğan announced that no tax will be charged on the meal price to be paid in cash last night. So does this mean the end of meal cards?
There has been an important development the other day about meal cards, an application that the private sector has been using for years. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shared some regulations with the title “Good news for the business world”. If one of these regulations isEnd of meal cards?” opened the door to the question.
President Erdoğan announced that they will remove the obligation to use restaurants, restaurants and meal cards for meal payments. However, in order to facilitate this issue, employers paid in cash. that the cost of the meal will be covered by the tax exemption. announced. So what does this explanation mean?
Will meal cards be history?
The arrangement shared by President Erdogan was described by many as the end of meal cards such as Multinet and Sodexo. This situation seems very logical when we evaluate the event from the employers’ point of view.
Many companies preferred to cover the meal price determined for their employees through meal cards, since tax was applied to this price until today. Because the monthly meal fee of 1,500 TL is paid to employers together with taxes. For more than 3,000 TL was exploding.
While receiving services from meal card providers will ease this burden, with the new tax regulation, the tax burden will be completely off the shoulders of employers. Employers, for a meal fee of 1,500 TL at the same cost will meet.
The new regulation was welcomed by many tradesmen. Because, tradesmen pay commission to the provider in payments made with meal cards and cut from profit he had to. However, payments made with meal cards were entering the pockets of the shopkeepers on a certain day of the month. With cash money, tradesmen will now be able to acquire the money directly on the same day without commission.
Of course, the transition from meal cards to cash meal payment will be the choice of employers. Meal cards are not just for food orders, It can also ensure that some special opportunities are offered to the employees. In addition, these systems can eliminate the workload of bill collection and meal receipts, and allow food expenditures to be tracked from the management panel.
