    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is a vehicle benefit in kind?
    A vehicle benefit in kind is taxable compensation corresponding to an employee’s personal use of a company vehicle. It may be calculated on a flat-rate basis or based on actual expenses.

    2. Why switch to real-time computing in 2025?
    Since the reform in February 2025, the flat-rate option has often become less advantageous. Calculating based on actual mileage allows you to align your tax liability with your actual usage and save up to €2,000 per year per vehicle.
