meal vouchers

Complexul Energetic Oltenia will grant meal vouchers to employees in 2026 as well, after the Government approved the Memorandum by which the company is exempted from the application of certain fiscal-budgetary provisions of Law no. 296/2023.

Romanian competition authorities performed inspections at three meal voucher issuers--Edenred, Sodexo Pass and Cheque Dejeuner--following suspicions of agreement between the three.

Romania’s Government estimates it will collect extra 345 million lei (EUR1=RON4.1751) in the second half of the year by applying a 16% tax on meal vouchers, and extra RON76 million by deducting social security contributions from copyright income and reducing deductible quotas to 25%, from 40%.
