By implementing these changes, employers are not only supporting their employees’ health but also fostering a more productive and engaged workforce.
As of the beginning of 2025, significant changes have been made to the annual limit for tax-exempt expenses related to employee health promotion in Estonia. The previous limit of 400 Eur, which was split equally between quarters, will now be available in full throughout the year. This amendment aims to provide greater flexibility and support for employees seeking to improve their health and well-being.
Moreover, the range of health services that employers can reimburse tax-exempt has been expanded. Employees can now benefit from a variety of services, including massages, dentistry, psychological therapy, speech therapy, and nutrition counselling, provided by licenced professionals. This comprehensive approach ensures employees have access to a wide array of health-promoting services, enhancing their overall well-being.
In addition to these services, tax-exempt expenses for improving health also cover participation fees in public sports events, expenses related to the regular use of sporting or mobility venues, maintenance of the employer’s existing sports facilities, and insurance premiums of health insurance contracts. This holistic approach to health promotion underscores the importance of physical activity, mental health, and preventive care in maintaining a healthy workforce.
By implementing these changes, employers are not only supporting their employees’ health but also fostering a more productive and engaged workforce. The expanded benefits reflect a commitment to employee well-being and recognise the diverse needs of today’s workforce.
