Hi,
I am working as HR in software company.total strength of employees are 15.we are planning to go for sodexo pass(meal) for the employees.I have heard that it is tax benefit to employees and no FBT to employer.
But i would like to know that how sodexo voucher amt is calculated,on what basis??does it depend upon the designation or salary of the employee,does sodexo pass are given to permanent/probation period employee etc ...If we give sodexo pass under salary it will be tax benefit but if we provide sodexo pass excluding salary then it will considered as perks to employees.We would like to go for both as it will be tax benefit and perks to employees to motivate them.
Kindly guide me.

Sodexo pass meal coupons is definitely a tax saving reimbursement for employees as well as employers. As per the Statutory provisions too "Food an beverages provided through non-transferrable food coupon (to any one) is excluded from 'hospitality' and exempt from FBT".
You may calculate the amount by evaluating the salary structure and the % re-imbursement of gross salary you are providing to your employees at various levels. For example the bottom grade re-imbursement for meal may be Rs. 15/- per day .. and so on.

Sodexo pass is a reimbursement in the form of food coupon provided by the employer to employee to meet his/her food expenses and which is not taxable. Most companies give these food coupons to the employees from their CTC's to save the tax.There is no limit on Sodexo pass but you have to specify some reasonable amount, say Rs.50/- per day(50*22=1100,75*22=1650) or Rs.75/- per day . Just because it is a tax free component you cannot give them coupons huge worth and something unreasonable.
Thanks
