Samenvatting

  • End-of-year cluster: €40 per worker per YEAR combined across Saint-Nicolas, Christmas and New Year — not €40 per occasion. Plus €40 per dependent child for Saint-Nicolas / Sinterklaas.
  • Wedding (worker's own wedding or legal cohabitation): up to €245 per worker.
  • Honorific distinction (eervolle onderscheiding / distinction honorifique): up to €120 per worker per year.
  • Retirement: €40 per full year of service with a €120 minimum and a €1,000 maximum per worker.
  • Across all categories the voucher must be non-cash, limited to a defined network of shops, granted to all eligible workers on the same basis, and tied to the recognised occasion. Going one euro above any cap makes the full value subject to RSZ/ONSS social-security contributions and payroll tax.

Veelgestelde vragen

Is the €40 end-of-year cap per occasion or per year?

Per year, combined across Saint-Nicolas, Christmas and New Year. You cannot give €40 for each of the three — €40 covers the whole end-of-year cluster per worker. Separate caps apply for unrelated occasions (wedding, retirement, honorific distinction).

What happens if I give a €60 end-of-year voucher?

The full €60 becomes subject to RSZ/ONSS social-security contributions and payroll tax — the cap is a cliff threshold, not a deductible amount.

How does the retirement cap work for someone with 30 years of service?

€40 × 30 = €1,200, capped at the maximum of €1,000. For someone with 2 years of service, €40 × 2 = €80, raised to the minimum of €120.
