Field help: Reduction due to free meals

If you received free meals – either directly from your employer or at their instigation (e.g. through third parties) – the meal allowance must be reduced.

Example 1: You attend a seminar paid for by your employer. The conference fee includes lunch.

Example 2: You are on a business trip, and breakfast is included in the hotel price.

Reduction amounts depend on the type of meal:

Breakfast: 20%
Lunch: 40%
Dinner: 40%

These percentages always apply to the 24-hour meal allowance.

For Germany, the full daily allowance is 28 Euro. This results in the following reduction amounts:

Breakfast: 5,60 Euro
Lunch: 11,20 Euro
Dinner: 11,20 Euro
