  Reimbursement of commuting costs

  Employees may choose to trade their gross vacation allowance, or a portion thereof, for a net reimbursement of commuting costs, resulting in a tax advantage. Employees only need to request the exchange once (preferably at the beginning of employment), as it will continue to be in effect for future years. Additionally, if you used public transport for at least 70% of your travel days during a period of at least two months, you are entitled to a public transport premium. The gross public transport premium equals 20% of the free reimbursement of commuting costs as calculated in the Employment Conditions Selection Model.
