How to recognise Services with tax exemption in Stebby?
If your Company offers you compensation, you can use the compensation amount at Service Providers whose Services have been compensated to you. Compensated categories are set up by the compensating Company on the Stebby environment!
If your Company only compensates for tax-free services, your account will have a corresponding entry next to the item "Compensated categories" in the menu on the left.
Take notice that even though your employer might have compensated you a certain category, you still cannot buy a taxed service from the category if your employer has permitted you to only buy tax-free services.
You can also search for tax-exempt services in Stebby's search using the "Tax exemption services" filter.
In 2018, a fringe benefit was implemented which allows the company to offer health benefits to its employees tax-exempt, but tax-exempted Services are provided by law on the basis of certain criteria (see the Estonian Tax & Customs Board website for more details). According to the criteria, some services are tax-exempt and some are taxed on the Stebby environment.
The Company can decide themselves whether and which health promotion services or training opportunities are offered to their employees in our environment.
Although the category of recovery includes the services of spas, massages and saunas, then all of them are not always tax-exempt services and therefore it is not possible to purchase them if only tax-exempt services are allowed by the employer.
The precondition for receiving the tax benefit is that the Service Provider is a rehabilitation doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, clinical speech therapist or clinical psychologist who is entered into the national register of health care professionals or someone who has a corresponding professional certificate and provides their professional services.
If the Service Provider holds an another professional certificate instead (e.g massage therapist, lymphatic therapist, masseur, chiropractor, etc.), then the tax-exemption does not apply.
The tax-exemption does not apply to the health and sports expenses of the employee's spouse, partner or relatives, as well not to an employee of the same group or another Company.
