Scusate se me lo chiedono spesso, ma sono sinceramente curioso.
Se ho capito bene, nel 2016, ovvero 8 anni fa, sono stati implementati 8 euro di buoni pasto per 1 giorno lavorativo.
In media i prezzi dei prodotti alimentari sono aumentati di circa il 30% solo negli ultimi 3 anni: https://www.brusselstimes.com/1327158/food-prices-in-belgium-almost-30-higher-than-two-years-ago?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Penso che sia lecito ritenere che negli ultimi 8 anni i prezzi dei prodotti alimentari si siano evoluti oltre il 50-60%…
Allora come è possibile che i buoni pasto non rispecchino tutto ciò?
Why are lunch vouchers not indexed?

Simply put: it costs money for the government. There have been parties that even proposed a law to index them last year. But it didn’t go through. It’s a topic of debate.
Better would be to just abolish them and give it as a net income. Companies like Sodexo and Edenred shouldn’t exist. They bring 0 value to society and are just a useless middleman that needs to get paid.
Because they were implemented with a max value. And from time to time, upping that is discussed.
Meal vouchers exist to a) provide an income to meal voucher providers, and b) give employees a small untaxed net compensation that will slowly become cheaper over time for employers.
Mine are still 6 euros.
We need to abolish them and transfer them in an untaxed net allowance for food/lunches. Saves us the cost of the middle man.
Because they are not taxed, because it’s not salary.
Your employer is legally obliged to index your salary. But extralegal advantages are extra. They also don’t count for your pension.
