Part of: HOP — Hospitality Development Platform

0.1% employers, 0.1% employees

HOP is funded by a levy agreed in the hospitality cao: employers and employees each contribute 0.1% of the wage base. The basis is therefore contractual (cao), not fiscal and not municipal.

What the levy is based on

Whether a business falls under the levy depends on the scope of the hospitality cao and on the payroll: the employees' wage base is the calculation basis. That is the first thing to check on any invoice: which period, which wage total and which cao basis was used?

What you can verify yourself

  • Which collective agreement covers your business and your staff.
  • Which wage base and which period were used.
  • Whether the levy runs through payroll or via a separate invoice.
  • What is delivered in return (training, RI&E, schemes).
