Job ticket & commuter allowance

This page was automatically translated using AI automatically translated using AI

A real benefit for your employees

The job ticket, also known as a public transport ticket in its current form, is an important contribution to climate-friendly mobility and a real employee benefit for your company.

As an employer, you can provide your employees with weekly and monthly tickets as well as the KlimaTicket OÖ for public transport. The prerequisite is that this ticket is valid at least at the place of residence or work. Neither employers nor employees have to pay income tax, ancillary wage costs or social security contributions.

Assumption of costs and processing

The cost of the ticket can also be coveredtax-free. As an employer, you can therefore reimburse the cost of the ticket in full or in part. Employees can order the tickets themselves and submit the invoice to you so that you can add it to their payroll account as proof.

Effects on the commuter allowance

Since 2023, the commuter allowance (in accordance with the Tax Amendment Act 2022) will only be reducedby the value of the public transport ticket (e.g. KlimaTicket Upper Austria). The commuter allowance will not be completely cancelled.

The gross-net calculator can be used to calculate the reduction in the commuter allowance if the employer makes an additional payment.

Advantages for your company

  • With the job ticket, you can strengthen employee loyalty and support recruitment.
  • The cost of the job ticket is deductible as a business expense.
  • If the company is entitled to deduct input tax, the VAT will be reimbursed.
  • There are no non-wage labour costs or social security contributions.
  • You reduce the need for car parking and consequently any associated costs.
  • You make a valuable contribution to climate protection and strengthen your image through your commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Advantages for your employees

  • You get the opportunity to travel to work for free or very cheaply, comfortably, safely and environmentally friendly.
  • The ticket can also be used privately in your free time.
  • All this leads to lower mobility costs and relieves the household budget.
  • The job ticket can also be used in combination with the commuter allowance.
