Why offer commuting benefit?

A tax-free fringe benefit is a cost-effective way to support employee wellbeing while encouraging more sustainable commuting habits. For employers, it offers an opportunity to enhance the employee experience in a tax-efficient manner without the added costs associated with salary increases.

Using public transport often increases the amount of walking and cycling as part of daily routines, which promotes a more active lifestyle and improves well-being. With commuting benefits, employers can also encourage their employees to make more sustainable choices, reinforce sustainability goals, and communicate company values.

Edenred Transport is a fully digital benefit, making administration easy. With a validity period of up to two years, it reduces the risk of unused balances and gives employees greater flexibility in utilizing their benefit.

How does the commuting benefit work?

The commuting benefit is intended for the journey between the apartment and the workplace. However, the use of the ticket has no restrictions on the number of trips or the time of day.

The commuting benefit is an employee benefit that can be offered in the same way as a salary increase. It is a tax-free benefit and the employer can deduct the cost in taxation. The benefit does not need to be offered collectively to all employees, and employers can determine the amount provided within the maximum amount set by the Tax Administration.

Edenred Transport is also included in the MyChoice feature, which gives employees greater flexibility in how they can use their benefits. Employees can choose whether to use their balance for commuting services or for other employee benefits offered by the employer.

Commuting benefit works comprehensively across Finland

Edenred Transport is designed to fit seamlessly into employees' everyday lives. The benefit can be used to purchase tickets from providers such as VR, HSL, and Nysse. A comprehensive partner network supports convenient travel across Finland. When the benefit is easy to use, its value and impact increase for both employees and employers.
