This amount is based on the current rules and represents a favourable setting that will be appreciated by both employees and employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The basis is the state-approved meal allowance for business travel, which is <strong>CZK 185<\/strong>. Up to 55 % of this amount, i.e. <strong>CZK 129.50<\/strong>, is tax-free for the employee. It is recommended that a further 45 %, equivalent to <strong>CZK 105.50<\/strong>, be added to this amount. The result is an optimal nominal value of the meal voucher of <strong>CZK 235<\/strong>, which meets all the requirements for modern company benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" data-attachment-id=\"54745\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/en\/the-optimal-value-of-the-food-voucher-is-235-czk\/rozpad-ceny-en-light-2-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"1201,600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rozpad ceny EN-light (2)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1-1024x512.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1-1024x512.png.webp\" alt=\"eStravenka\" class=\"wp-image-54745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1-1024x512.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1-300x150.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1-768x384.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.upcz.cz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/01\/rozpad-ceny-EN-light-2-1.png.webp 1201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This change allows companies to support their employees more effectively in these challenging times.Increasing the face value of meal vouchers is simple and requires no additional paperwork.
