How do service vouchers work in Brussels?

Service Vouchers are a practical solution for residents of Brussels seeking reliable and affordable household help. This guide explains how the system works, letting you simplify your daily routine while contributing to the local economy.

ℹ️ New changes in 2025! Did you know that major adjustments to service vouchers will take effect from January 2025? To find out all about the new rules and updated rates, read our article: What’s changing for service vouchers in 2025.

What are service vouchers?

Service vouchers in Belgium provide a simple and secure way to access household help. Subsidized by the authorities, these vouchers are a practical solution for tasks like cleaning and ironing. Here’s how they work:

  • Purchase vouchers via Pluxee (formerly Sodexo).
  • Use them to pay your household helper, with each voucher representing one hour of work.
  • Enjoy reduced costs, as the State partially finances each voucher to make the system affordable.

  3. Trustworthy service: Qualified and insured personnel ensure safety and reliability.
  4. Tax savings: Benefit from deductions on your service vouchers when filing your tax return in the Brussels-Capital Region.
