Depending on how high the employer contribution is, contributions of Lunch-Check are to be declared as follows:

The employer contribution of CHF 180 is not exceeded. Only field G (canteen meals / Lunch-Checks) must be crossed.

Example 3:
Lunch-Check issued in the amount of CHF 240 per month free of charge.

For shorter terms of use, the cost of the card and its first-time issue will be invoiced to the company. Fees will only be charged for replacement cards and additional services.
