Tut mir leid, wenn das oft gefragt wird, aber ich bin wirklich neugierig.
Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, wurden 2016, also vor 8 Jahren, Mittagsgutscheine im Wert von 8 EUR pro Werktag eingeführt.
Im Durchschnitt sind die Lebensmittelpreise in den letzten drei Jahren nur um etwa 30 % gestiegen: https://www.brusselstimes.com/1327158/food-prices-in-belgium-almost-30-higher-than- three-years-ago?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Ich denke, man kann mit Sicherheit davon ausgehen, dass sich die Lebensmittelpreise in den letzten acht Jahren um mehr als 50–60 % erhöht haben …
Wie ist es also möglich, dass Essensgutscheine dies nicht widerspiegeln?
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.
