A legislative proposal aims to increase meal voucher values from 45 to 50 lei starting November 2026. This change, initiated by two PSD deputies, seeks to address rising food costs and support over 3.2 million employees in Romania. The increase would provide additional funds for employees, depending on their working days, but employers are not mandated to implement this change. The proposal has been registered for urgent debate in the Senate, with potential economic impacts estimated at over 4 billion lei annually. The current tax regime for meal vouchers remains unchanged, and the actual benefit depends on employer decisions.
