With effect from 1 July 2025, the employer will operate a commuting allowance scheme that encourages sustainable travel. The employer will grant minimum allowances per means of transport:
- full reimbursement of travel by public transport based on 2nd class travel;
- a standard kilometre allowance of € 0.23 net for a single journey of 10 to 30 kilometres if using a car;
- a standard kilometre allowance of € 0.30 (of which € 0.23 net and € 0.07 gross) if all or most of the travel is by bicycle.
More generous arrangements may be agreed in individual cases in the context of specific circumstances.
If your employer provides transport either wholly or partially, the above shall not apply, or only for the part of the journey for which your employer does not provide transport.
Your employer may make different arrangements with you for commuting expenses that might be incurred, if you receive compensation as a result of having to use a car for business purposes.
