What are the tax benefits of bicycle leasing?
We list the different advantages:
You do not pay any Benefit in Kind (VAA in Dutch) for using a leased bicycle.
You don't pay any NSSO contributions on a leased bicycle.
The kilometre allowance that you pay as an employer is exempt from taxes and NSSO contributions up to a maximum of 0.27 euros/km.
For the employer, the lease price of the bicycle is 100% tax deductible. Other costs, such as installing a changing room or shower room or bicycle parking, are also 100% deductible thanks to government subsidies.
The VAT is only deductible when the bicycle is used professionally, such as cargo delivered by bicycle. This deduction is possible for the percentage that the bicycle is used for purely work-related travel.
