But a new reform will take effect on January 1. Exit the sum fixed by the Region and valid for several years, an indexation system will be put in place. “In accordance with the decision taken by the previous government, the indexation of service vouchers in Wallonia will be effective from January 2025 and will make it possible to adjust, at most twice a year (in January and July), the price of the vouchers. -services for userswe learn. This indexation will take into account changes in prices and will allow companies to benefit from fairer financing. This means, as a user, you will potentially see an increase in the price you pay twice a year, based on inflation.“

Concretely, the price of a service voucher will be indexed by 20 cents from January 1, 2025. We therefore go, for individual quotas from €10 to €10.20 for the first 175 service vouchers acquired per calendar year, at €11.20 for the 176th to 400th service vouchers acquired per calendar year and at €12.20 for 401st to 500th service vouchers per calendar year.
For household quotas and specific quotas, indexation is also required. “The tax deduction remains unchanged. It will always be 10% on the first 150 service vouchers purchased per person, per fiscal year. The validity period does not change. Service vouchers purchased in 2024 for an amount of €10 can still be used in 2025.specifies the Walloon Region.
This measure, depending on the Region, “aims to preserve the financial viability of the service voucher system for the Walloon Region and makes it possible to respond to several challenges”.
Furthermore, this increase could also be added to a decision of the Council of State a few weeks ago. Remember, the former minister in charge of service vouchers, Christie Morreale, had banned companies from charging additional fees to their customers. Some had in fact asked, for example, for an additional euro per service voucher to counter the rise in energy prices, in particular.
This decision by the minister was overturned and leaves, for the moment, the possibility for companies to charge additional fees again.
