Benefits, wage in kind

Benefits or wage in kind components are currently largely provided to employees in order to keep or even raise their motivation but also as a means in competitive fight for new labour force. Therefore it is an important topic that should not be neglected.

Generally the company can provide employee by any benefit, however it has further tax impacts for company as well as for employee. The most wanted benefits are those that are fully tax deductible for company and at the same time exempted from income tax for employee.

Second group are benefits that are fully tax deductible (that means tax efficient costs) for company but partly taxed on the side of employee.

Third group are benefits that are tax inefficient. These are typical expenditures that employer provides from capital reserves (profit after taxation). If the company provides these benefits as a regular expenditure or if the company produced loss, these expenditures are tax ineffective. At the same time such benefits are exempted from employee´s taxation when they do not exceed legally set threshold. The difference provided above the threshold must be taxed as a salary by an employee.

Among typical benefits typically belong:

  • vacation or medical contributions,
  • contributions for culture and sport actions,
  • meal vouchers,
  • educational courses and language classes,
  • paid childcare by company,
  • company car,
  • pension and life insurance contributions,
  • entertainment costs (team building activities).

Tax deductible versus not deductible (inefficient) cost

When talking therein before about tax deductible or not deductible (efficient vs. non-efficient) costs, it is also appropriate to explain the difference from the company´s point of view. It simply means that these costs must be excluded from the accounting profit in tax declaration, so the tax base increases. In particular, tax not deductible cost of 1000 CZK means, that the company for such costs pays about 19 % more = 1190 CZK. 19 % is current Czech Corporate Income Tax Rate.

We will help you with benefit outline and optimization as well as wording necassary company's by-laws (interanal directives).
