Temporary tax credit for employers required to grant bike allowance
February 2024 - Employers who have to grant bicycle allowances to their employees based on NAR CBA No 164 can temporarily count on tax compensation in the form of a tax credit.

In 2023, this will be 0.145 euro per kilometre travelled, with a maximum of 20 kilometres per single trip (of 40 kilometres per day).
