The tax-free kilometer allowance can be combined with the lease bike. That works like this:
for commuting kilometers with the lease bike, there is no entitlement to the untaxed kilometer allowance. However, you may continue to pay the mileage allowance for the kilometers covered by another means of transport – such as your own car or public transport. In addition, a lease bike may be combined with a lease car. Most employers convert the discontinued travel allowance into a gross contribution (not covered by the WKR), so that it remains financially interesting for the employee.
In order to easily deal with this administratively, Lease a Bike provides a bike statement in which this can be recorded, so that the employer only has to make a one-off adjustment to the salary administration.
Example:
Suppose, before the lease bike plan, your colleague went to work in his own car five days a week. This colleague received a mileage allowance for this. Now that this colleague has a leased bike, your colleague goes to work by bike two days a week and by his own car three days a week. This means that you can continue to pay mileage allowance for three days a week. The employer can pay gross for the other two days.
