Your situation

Sound familiar?

As a freelancer, you juggle your business and your admin. And every euro counts.

You pay too much tax on what you earn

Between social contributions and corporate tax, not much is left. Yet there are legal ways to increase your net income.

You don't have time for admin

Invoicing, accounting, client follow-ups — you handle it all. The last thing you need is yet another system to figure out.

You're not sure if you qualify

Side business, sole director, company manager... Each status has its own rules. Not always obvious which ones apply to you.

You're worried about compliance

You want to optimise, but not at the risk of an audit. You need a reliable, compliant, recognised solution.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions -- Freelancers

Can self-employed people receive meal vouchers?

It depends on your status. A sole proprietor (self-employed in their own name) is not eligible for meal vouchers, as these are tied to an employment relationship. However, if you operate through a company (SRL, SA, SC), you are considered a director-employee of your own company: you can then grant yourself meal vouchers under the same conditions as a salaried worker.

Is it really more cost-effective than a direct salary increase?

Yes, significantly. To receive € 2,590 net through a regular salary, your company would need to spend around € 5,300 (social contributions + corporate tax + personal income tax). With Monizze vouchers, the total cost is about € 2,590, saving nearly 50%.

As the sole director of my company, can I grant myself meal vouchers?

Yes. As a company director, you are considered an employee of your own company. You can therefore grant yourself meal vouchers under the same conditions as a salaried worker. The only requirement: operating through a company (SRL, SA, SC). Sole proprietors without a company are not eligible.

How many meal vouchers can I order as a freelancer?

The standard in Belgium is 220 vouchers per year, based on the number of working days for an employee. However, as a freelancer, you can order more vouchers, but this must remain in line with the days actually worked in your company.

Will meal vouchers increase my tax base or social contributions?

No. Meal vouchers are exempt from social contributions and are not considered taxable income for the beneficiary, provided you respect the legal limits (max. € 10/day, of which min. € 1.09 employee contribution). The employer share (max. € 8.91) is fully deductible for your company.

I'm worried the administrative process is too heavy for a one-person company.

That is exactly our specialty. Registration takes 5 minutes online, no appointment or sales rep needed. You order, top up, and manage everything from your online portal. Your accountant receives clear, ready-to-use invoices.

Are there hidden fees or admin costs that reduce the net benefit?

Our pricing is transparent and listed on our website. You pay management fees per voucher. The tax benefit far outweighs the management fees.

Are Monizze vouchers accepted everywhere?

Your Monizze card is accepted at over 45,000 merchants in Belgium: restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, sandwich shops, caterers, and also online for meal delivery. The Monizze app shows you merchants near you in real time.

Aren't meal voucher solutions designed for large companies?

Not at Monizze. Our platform is built for freelancers and small businesses. Online registration in 5 minutes, self-managed. Over 95,000 companies trust us, the vast majority being small businesses and freelancers.

What are the exact tax rules for eco-vouchers as a freelancer?

Eco-vouchers are capped at € 250/year per beneficiary. They are fully exempt from social contributions and taxes, for both the beneficiary and the company. They can be used for ecological purchases: organic products, gardening, green mobility, energy-efficient appliances. They can be combined with meal vouchers.
