The Tax-Deductible Limit for Leisure Benefits Is Increasing. What Does 2025 Bring for Your Employees and Your Company?
The new year brings great news – starting January 2025, the tax-deductible limit for corporate leisure benefits will increase to CZK 23,278 per year, which is CZK 1,294 more than in 2024. This change opens new opportunities for employers who wish to support the well-being and health of their employees. Leisure benefits include the MultiSport card, which, thanks to the increased limit, can become even more accessible for your employees.
An Extra CZK 1,294 for Movement, Hobbies, and Relaxation for Your Employees
The increased limit of CZK 1,294 provides companies with more room to contribute to leisure benefits – including the MultiSport card. For instance, if your company uses a co-financing model, you can offer your employees up to an additional CZK 100 per month. This change will be appreciated not only by current users but may also motivate those who have been considering the card.
“We see the increase in the tax-deductible benefits limit as a step in the right direction, one that supports the health and well-being of employees in the Czech Republic. However, I would prefer if the MultiSport card and other movement-related benefits were entirely excluded from the consolidation package. Benefits promoting an active lifestyle have a demonstrably positive impact on the health of employees and society as a whole, and their support should be a priority for our lawmakers,”
comments Miroslav Rech, CEO of MultiSport Benefit, s.r.o.
Economic Benefits for Employers, Healthier and Happier Lives for Employees
The MultiSport card is one of the most effective tools to promote an active lifestyle for your employees, allowing them daily access to one of over 2,900 sports and relaxation facilities across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This makes sports and active relaxation more accessible.
MultiSport card users can enjoy a wide range of activities, from fitness, yoga, and group classes to swimming, racket sports, and sauna sessions. The MultiSport map also regularly features various seasonal activities, enabling employees to plan an active family outing to a castle, play mini-golf, or visit the Prachov Rocks.
Supporting a healthy lifestyle also yields measurable economic benefits for employers. Active employees are statistically less prone to long-term absences, and their increased productivity contributes to better company performance. According to a Harvard Business Review study, managers and employees who engage in sports are 14% more productive and report higher satisfaction with their lives and work. A study by McKinsey & Company even reports a 25% increase.
How to Get Started
The increased limit in January 2025 is the perfect opportunity to further enhance your employee benefits package, attract new potential hires, and strengthen your corporate culture.
