Reductions due to meals provided
If you received free meals from your employer (e.g. at a hotel or on business trips), the meal allowance must be reduced – even if you did not eat the meal.
- Breakfast: 5,60 Euro (20% of 28 Euro)
- Lunch or dinner: 11,20 Euro each (40%)
- Also applies to meals on planes, in hotels, on trains, etc.
- Snacks (e.g. cereal bars, nibbles) are not considered meals.
- If you paid for part of the meal yourself, the reduction amount may be adjusted accordingly.
Tip: Keep receipts for your own contributions (e.g. hotel bill with breakfast surcharge).
