Tax breaks
for your employees
and for you.

Give your employees a tax break on their commute
and get a payroll tax break too!

Join the thousands of employers enjoying the benefits of the qualified transportation tax incentive

Employers can save on payroll costs by letting their employees use a portion of their salary to pay for their commuting costs.

Federal law* allows employers to provide their employees with a tax-free way to pay for their commuting expenses. Under the Commuter Tax Benefit, employers can let their employees use their salary on a pre-tax basis to pay for commuting expenses when they use transit, ride in a vanpool, or for commuting parking. Employers also have the option of providing a tax-free subsidy to help their employees with these commuting expenses.

The qualified transportation tax incentive is a win-win.
Employees can also save up to 40% on their commuting expenses, and employers don’t pay FICA on the benefit amount. Click here for more information on the Commuter Tax Benefit.

How it works

The Commuter Tax Benefit is unlike any other pre-tax benefit you offer your employees, like FSAs or HSAs.
With this tax-free benefit, there are zero:

  • Forms to fill out
  • Regulatory reports to file
  • Fixed enrollment periods
  • ‘Use it or lose it’ rules
  • Limitations on whom to offer it

Starting a Commuter Tax Benefit program is easy to do – and can happen at any time of the year. Get in touch to learn more!!
