The government announced this Friday, December 27, an increase in aid intended to facilitate daily travel for employees. Several transport bonuses, linked both to fuels and to more ecological alternatives, will see their tax exemption ceilings increase from January 1, 2025.
The tax exemption limit for the fuel premium increases from 200 to 300 euros per year. Concretely, this means that the employer will be able to cover part of the fuel costs of its employees, without this sum being subject to tax up to this new threshold. As a reminder, this ceiling had already been temporarily raised to 400 euros in 2022 and 2023, due to the surge in hydrocarbon prices, before returning to 200 euros in 2024.
In order to promote the energy transition and encourage the adoption of electric cars, the charging bonus is also increased by 100 euros. Its tax exemption ceiling increases from 500 to 600 euros per year. This assistance concerns employees who have an electric vehicle and wish to obtain financial support for their charging costs.
The government also wants to encourage cleaner travel, whether cycling, scooters, walking or even public transport. Thus, the combination of “sustainable mobility package” and public transport subscription sees its tax exemption ceiling increase from 800 to 900 euros per year. The “sustainable mobility package” is paid to employees opting for so-called “soft” modes of transport, while the public transport subscription remains a benefit often covered in part by the employer.
