Office fruit: healthy and financially smart

Office fruit isn’t just a healthy choice for your team – it’s also financially attractive for your organisation. By choosing Fruitful Office, you benefit from a tax advantage that tastes just as good as our fruit. More energy on the work floor, while keeping your costs sharp.

How does the tax benefit work?

The Dutch Tax Authority considers office fruit a provision that supports a healthy and vital workplace. That’s why fruit at work falls under the so-called nihil valuation within the WKR (Work-Related Costs Scheme). This means you, as an employer, benefit from:

  • No impact on your free space within the WKR
  • 100% tax deductible – you can fully deduct the costs of office fruit
  • VAT refundable– as long as you stay under the annual threshold

In short: with Fruitful Office you invest in healthier, happier colleagues while saving on taxes. That makes your workplace not just more vital and sustainable, but also financially smarter. Win-win!
