Lunch voucher expenses can be checked using an application

The Social Security Institution (ZUS) has authorised the verification of receipts presented by employees for employer-funded lunches via a special app.

From September 2023, employers who have decided to introduce a benefit in the form of a lunch voucher can benefit from an exemption from social security contributions. One of the conditions of the exemption is that the employer must check every receipt issued for purchases made with the lunch voucher. According to the ZUS interpretation of 3 December 2024, such verification can be carried out using a special application.
