Tax Base for Staff Meals in Restaurants: New Guidelines Effective October 28, 2025

  • The previous position on “Revaluation of the tax base for staff meals in restaurant companies” is no longer applicable as of 2025-10-28.
  • Information regarding the tax base for staff meals has been updated.
  • Staff meals provided under collective agreements are not comparable to restaurant services offered to customers.
  • If staff pay at least the company’s cost for the meal, that payment is considered market-based and is used as the tax base.
  • If staff pay less than the company’s cost, the tax base is set at the company’s actual cost for providing the meal, requiring a revaluation according to 8 kap. 17 § ML.
