The workshop where the “Draft Regulation on the Amendment of the Regulation on the Principles and Regulations to be Implemented in Retail Trade,”as a part of the Law No. 6585 on the Arrangement of Retail, which includes arrangements for meal cards, was held at TOBB under the chairmanship of Ministry of Customs and Commerce Deputy Undersecretary İsmail Yücel and the participations of Director General of Domestic Trade of the Ministry of Customs and Trade Adnan Yankın, TOBB Deputy Secretary General Cengiz Delibaş, Domestic Trade, Ministry of Customs and Commerce Assistant General Manager Adem Başar.
Deputy Undersecretary Yucel said in his opening speech, the meal card industry, with over 2 million users, a turnover of 25bn TRY and 5bn TRY tax revenue - an immensely important industry in Turkey – will for the first time attain a legal infrastructure with the draft regulation of 9 March 2018 prepared through consultation all parties including companies providing meal card services, related institutions and organizations, and member merchants.
TOBB Deputy Secretary General Cengiz Delibas pointed out that it is a very productive meeting where social dialogue is working and that the use of the meal card system is attractive to employers when the income tax and SGK exception are taken into consideration, but that the meal cards will lose their attraction if this exception is reflected in the cash payments to the employees.
