Living in Germany is currently more expensive than it has been for decades. The inflation rate in September 2022 was 10 percent and thus higher than it has been for 70 years. Employees in particular are facing particular challenges as a result of higher energy and food prices.
We explain below how companies can relieve their employees quickly, unbureaucratically and cost-effectively.
Monthly tax-free payment in child
Companies can provide each employee with an amount of 50 euros each month tax-free as a payment in kind — that means 600 euros per year.
This monthly subsidy can be used flexibly for their employees. The only requirement for the exemption from payment in kind is that it is linked to vouchers and bank cards relating to goods or services.
The rechargeable, digitally or physically available Regional Hero voucher meets these requirements. In addition, their employees can decide for themselves how they want to spend their flexible pay increase.
The Regional Hero Card — the all-round talent

Because the Regional Hero Card can be charged with individual amounts with just a few clicks. By the way, this is also tax-free up to 3 times a year with an amount of up to 60 euros.
