With effect from 1 August 2021, there will be a change, which will be reflected for the first time in the processing of August salary payments in September. The legislative novelty is that parents who maintain a child between the ages of 6 and 15 can decide whether to claim a tax credit of EUR 39.47 or the so-called meals subsidy (free-of-charge lunch; subsidy for 1 day in the amount of approximately EUR 1.30; for a month having 20 working days, it is approximately EUR 26).
