Nutzungsbedingungen – Congrats

In accordance with the income tax law, your company may grant you products or services for special occasions (such as birthdays, the birth of a child, successfully completed exams, etc.). The advantage: You receive up to 60 EURO gross without having to pay taxes or social security contributions. The only condition: You have no direct claim on the received amount, which means no transfers into cash wages. The received coupon must be spent on a commodity or product (= “material wages”) related to the category it belongs to.

For any special occasion, an electronic or digital voucher will be issued and stored in your LOFINO app with a maximum amount of 60 euros. You will be notified about the issue of the voucher by mail. After purchasing relevant products or services, in order to activate the coupon you need to upload the receipt/s into the system via the web or LOFINO app. You are entitled to redeem your digital voucher for up to 60 euros for every occasion. You will be reimbursed for your purchase on your next payroll. Unused coupons unfortunately will lose their validity after their expiration date. If the submitted receipts don’t reflect any material wages, the documents will be rejected with relevant comments, which will be shown in your LOFINO account. Only material products/services that are purchased domestically will be considered. Every specific coupon will belong to one of the previously determined valid categories, such as food and beverages, service costs for your own vehicle, travel costs by public transport, beauty and hygiene products, and so on. (You can find the full list of categories below)

The category and further details about the coupon will be determined by your employers, which can be also modified with their approval. Unfortunately, only one category can be issued per coupon.

Categories for possible selection:

• Food and drinks
• Vehicle service costs, such as repairs and maintenance
• Rental fees for vehicles (e.g. car rental, bike rental)
• Shared mobility/public transports
• Travel costs with public transport
• Textiles
• Pet supplies
• Beauty and hygiene products/services
• Furnishings, decoration and household items
• Fitness, massages and health products
• Electronics

In order to change the already issued category, please contact the following mail, stating your and employer’s name: service@lofino.de

Harmful products directly related to violence or addiction, such as cigarettes, goods with sexual content, weapons, or drugs won’t be approved.
