Do you have any questions?
Yes, employees can submit fuel expenses in the "private transport" category – even for private trips in a car. Note that these costs must be taxed normally.
All journeys by public transport within Germany are tax-free. The usual taxes are paid on journeys by individual transport (e.g. cab, scooter, car sharing) and long-distance transport (ICE, IC).
Exceptions: If the trip is a commute to work made by long-distance transportation, taxes are not due for that trip.
Companies are free to set the amount they want to make available to their employees. This way you remain flexible and offer your employees an individual and unique benefit.
We basically offer two tax models for our Mobility Benefit. As a company, you choose one of the two models: a) completely tax-free or b) both tax-free and taxed at a flat rate of 25%. In the first model, only all public transport journeys and long-distance business journeys (commuting journeys) are subsidised. In the second model, individual transport (e.g. car sharing, e-scooters, e-bikes) and private long-distance journeys are also subsidised.
Furthermore, according to § 40 para. 2 sentence 2 no. 2 EStG, there is the possibility of taxing remuneration that would be tax-exempt according to § 3 no. 15 EStG at a flat rate of 25% (option), with the consequence of reducing the distance allowance
No, employees are free to decide which trips they use their budget for - whether private or work-related is irrelevant. Nevertheless, it must be clearly distinguished from a business trip, business trips cannot be charged or accounted for with the mobility budget. Business trips can be settled with Circula Expenses.
In principle, all means of transport are allowed. However, there are two models based on tax differences that can be applied to different employees or groups of employees in the company: a) completely tax-free and b) partly tax-free, partly taxed. Public transport and long-distance public commuting (not in a car) are tax-free on the part of the legislator, but private long-distance and individual transport, e.g. car sharing, e-scooters, are taxed normally.
