Good news for all employees who use their car to get to work.
The bill on purchasing power provides for a strengthening of the "transport bonus" paid by companies to their employees to cover part of the cost of their travel, according to the text consulted by AFP.
The ceiling for tax and social exemption from the payment by the employer of the fuel costs of its employees will thus be doubled, from 200 to 400 euros for the years 2022 and 2023 according to this document, confirming information published in the press. .
And employees will also be able to combine this bonus with the payment by the employer of 50% of the price of public transport subscriptions.
A much more accessible premium
In addition, the government has decided to considerably relax the eligibility conditions for this “transport bonus”.
Until now reserved for employees outside Ile-de-France, or in an urban area, or for those with schedules that prevent them from using public transport, it will be extended to "all employees incurring fuel or fuel costs for electric, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen vehicles for their journeys between their usual residence and their place of work”, specifies the explanatory memorandum to the text.
In the same logic, the measure also plans to increase from 500 to 700 euros the exemption ceiling provided for in the event of the combination of the "transport bonus" with the "sustainable mobility package", paid to employees who favor the modes of so-called soft mobility transport.
"This measure aims to improve the purchasing power of employees using their vehicle for their home-work journeys, particularly affected by the increase in prices at the pump", still defends the government, while fuel prices have risen sharply these last months.
