Bicycle leasing through your employer is no longer an insider tip. With substantial tax benefits of up to 40% and the trend toward sustainable mobility, more and more companies are turning to JobRad, JobBike, and other bike leasing providers.
What is bicycle leasing through your employer?
With bicycle leasing through your employer, you provide your employees with cool bicycles and e-bikes for both work and private use. The leasing rate is simply deducted from their gross salary, which means that everyone involved can save on taxes.
Three-party system
- Your company: Signs the leasing contract and provides the bikes.
- Leasing provider: Finances and manages the bikes (e.g., JobRad, JobBike).
- Specialist dealer: Advises, sells, and maintains the bikes.
