Documentation

Definition

Specifies the legal amount for each distance category for a train subscription. This is used for home-work reimbursement calculations.

Use

A reimbursement for home-work travel is mandatory when an employee uses the train (or other public transport), and the annual earnings of the employee do not exceed the statutory threshold.

More information regarding thresholds and criteria are outlined, as follows:

• Train
• The contribution is equal to the values in the official NMBS table
• Public transport (for example, tram, train, bus)
• In that case the maximum amount is equal to the minimum of the amount of the train ticket and 54% of the real cost.
• Since fiscal year 1992, all the mandatory contributions of the employer for public transport are completely tax-free. If the mandatory contribution of the employer is less than the threshold but the contribution to the real cost of the subscription is higher then the defined minimum, then the whole amount is tax-free. This tax exemption is limited to the real cost and to a maximum annual threshold.
• Private car or a company car
• Reimbursement can be made using various rules. Normally the reimbursement is based on the distance travelled and based on the range of the train ticket. Travel with a private car is subject to a maximum tax- free threshold.

Dependencies

• This amount is multiplied with the Tariff percentage contributions (BPCTT) field. This results in a Rail tariff per week (BEPWK) field value; this is the amount reimbursed to the employee.
• Values specified in the Contract Elements (0016) infotype determine whether the choice is yearly, monthly, or other.
• Due to the law of 27/07/1962 and CAO 19 of 05/03/1991, an employer is indebted to the employee for the home-work contribution. Note, however, employers are not obliged to reimburse total travel costs.
• Since 01/01/1991, an NMBS reference table is used. The Contributions of the employer in the cost of a train ticket (NMBS 2e class) table is updated annually.
