Employers in the Netherlands are allowed to provide a tax-free travel allowance for days on which an employee travels to work using their own vehicle or public transport. This allowance is based on either the number of kilometers travelled or the actual travel days.
However, if an employee uses a lease bike to commute, no tax-free travel allowance can be provided for those specific days. This is a legal requirement.
To offset any potential loss of travel compensation, many employers choose to increase their monthly contribution towards the lease bike by the same amount that would otherwise be provided as a travel allowance.
