The budget law extends for 2025 the exemptions for employers who pay up to 75% of the public transport costs of their employees.

For commuting, the employer shall bear 50 % of the cost of public transport supported by its employees.

The costs concerned are:

  • public transport passes:
  • public bicycle rental services.

This support is exempt from income tax and social contributions.

75 % exemption from support

Since 2022, these exemptions also apply beyond 50 % of compulsory take-over, up to a maximum of 25 %.

In other words, the employer is exempt when he takes over up to 75 % of the public transport costs of its employees.

This scheme is extended for 2025 by the budget law in order to help employees facing the effects of inflation.

Reminder

Only subscription cards (annual, monthly or weekly) are supported by the employer. Transport tickets purchased individually by the employee are therefore not subject to reimbursement.
