Tax benefits make financing public transport mobility an attractive choice for companies and employees.

Under certain criteria, you can declare your employees’ financed public transport travelcards as a business-related necessity in consultation with the competent tax authority. The VAT input tax deduction can be applied to these travelcards and tickets. This can help your company save up to 7.7 %.

Business-related purchases are not subject to social security contributions either. As a company, this can help you save a further 5.15% in OASI/IV/LEC outlay. If you as an employer finance an employee’s travel costs, they will experience more benefits than tax disadvantages.

Gifts and vouchers to employees of up to CHF 500 are exempt from tax and social security contributions. They do not need to be noted on the employee’s salary statement. Half-Fare travelcards are always exempt from tax. Just like vouchers in hard copy, e-vouchers and promotional codes are subject to the tax liability regulations currently in force.

Encourage travel by public transport and save money. You can support public transport mobility most effectively by purchasing travelcards or vouchers for a specific purpose. Rail Checks, e-vouchers or promotional codes also let you partly finance public transport travelcards for your employees.

With a 1st class GA travelcard costing just CHF 17.30 a day (2nd class: CHF 10.60), your employees can enjoy flexible travel on any SBB route and most private railways across Switzerland, on PostBuses and boats, and on local public transport such as trams and buses in most cities and urban areas.

A GA travelcard is not the only option either: there are some cheaper alternatives in the form of point-to-point travelcards for the daily commute or regional travelcards for the relevant region. You are bound to find the right solution just for you in our wide range of commuter offers.

Managing parking spaces creates more room.

When a company has its own parking spaces, this can result in considerable running costs, depending on both the location and the size of the company. These expensive parking spaces are often used by employees free of charge, meaning that they cannot be used by customers or suppliers or rented out (externally), or even that they occupy space that could otherwise be used for expanding the company premises. What’s more, employees who commute to work by public transport or non-motorised transport don’t enjoy the same perk.

So there are good reasons for encouraging employees to make the switch from car to public transport through sustainable parking space management:

• Eliminate parking space shortages.
• Cultivate fairness and reconcile additional benefits between drivers and non-drivers: employees who commute to work by environmentally friendly modes of transport are supported by a mobility bonus.
• Promote public and non-motorised transport. This helps to reduce the volume of traffic and its detrimental impact on the environment.

There are many ways of implementing this: for instance, parking spaces can be made available free of charge only to employees who have a long commute. The additional revenue generated by parking spaces can be used to fund public transport travelcards.

Travelling by public transport is better value than driving. Calculate the costs of your and your employees’ commutes with the greatest of ease.
