Employee health insurance and taxes: what does the employer gain?

Health insurance premiums paid by the employer are exempt from both personal income tax (IIN) and mandatory state social insurance contributions (VSAOI) if three conditions are met:

  • the premium does not exceed 750 EUR per employee per year (effective from 1 January 2024; previously 426.86 EUR);
  • the premium does not exceed 10% of the employee's gross annual salary;
  • the insurance contract term is at least one year.

Legal basis: Section 8, Paragraph 5 of the law "On Personal Income Tax" and Cabinet Regulation No. 899.

If the premium exceeds the limit, only the excess is taxed - it is treated as salary. For employees joining the policy during the contract term, the exemption applies proportionally.

In practice: for a team of 10 employees, a company can allocate up to 7,500 EUR per year to employee health without paying payroll taxes on this amount.
