Reporting the compensation deducted from the meal benefit
When you want to report to the income register a compensation deducted from the meal benefit, which is an item reducing the net wage or salary and from which no social insurance contributions are withheld, proceed as follows:
You can open the view or perform the function by selecting Payroll > Payroll > Salary model management > Company-specific salary types > click on the name of the salary type > Income type.
- Assign the salary type with income type 334 "Meal benefit".
- Check the "Meal benefit additional information" checkbox, if the compensation deducted from the meal benefit corresponds to the taxable value.
The selection brings the information "Compensation deducted from the meal benefit corresponds to the taxable value" > Yes to the additional information of the income type on the earning payment report.
Netvisor operates technically so that all euros of salary type rows whose income type is 334 Meal benefit and in addition, the additional information of the meal benefit is given as "Compensation deducted from the meal benefit corresponds to the taxable value" will appear as zero sum on the earning payment report as shown in the image below:
This feature is made so that the users of the income register do not confuse meal benefits with different withholding tax and social insurance treatment.
