What do "My benefit (higher net salary)" and "Applicable value of the receipts" mean?

If a receipt has been reviewed by the system and is waiting for your confirmation, you see the meal subsidy you will receive for this receipt in addition to your net salary written in pink ("My benefit - higher net salary"). Once you have confirmed the receipt, this display will change and instead it will show the total value of all the items that are accepted for meal subsidy on the receipt ("Applicable value of the receipts").

The benefit is no longer displayed because the system always chooses the receipts with the highest benefit over all submitted receipts and therefore the benefit can change. This means that a previously submitted receipt may not bring such a high benefit anymore after you have submitted the next receipt. However, you can always be sure that the billyard system will always determine the highest benefit, i.e. the highest meal subsidy for you. This also takes into account the fact that any taxes that may be incurred are as low as possible.

Example 1:

Receipt view after analysis and before confirmation - My benefit (higher net salary):

Receipt view after confirmation - Applicable value:

In this case, it may be that on the same day, after you have confirmed the receipt, you upload another one that brings a higher benefit which means that the first one won't be counted anymore as only one receipt per day is accepted. Another possibility would be that after applying the 15-day regulation there are other receipts in the same month that bring a higher benefit.

Example 2:

Receipt view after analysis and before confirmation - My benefit (higher net salary):

Receipt view after confirmation - Applicable value:

In this case, it could be that another receipt with a higher benefit will be taken into account, since a small amount of flat-rate tax is due on this receipt. The receipt will only be tax-free if the applicable value exceeds 10.70 euros.
