On 5 December 2024, the circular (2024/C/77) was published, which provides for a temporary arrangement (applicable to calendar year 2025) for the reimbursement of electricity costs by the employer for charging a company car at home based on the CREG rate without additional benefit in kind (BIA). This if the electricity consumption of the company car is known.
To reassure you immediately: The EEVEE Mobility system is accepted as a 'specific and reliable communication system' to carry out the reimbursements. We therefore comply with the new guidelines set out in this circular.
There are some changes regarding the payment rate that must be used. An explanation can be found below.
Actual cost with tolerance until 31/12/2025
The new guideline offers a tolerance period until the end of 2025 for reimbursements based on actual cost. After 2025, we still have to wait and see, but be aware that EEVEE is working on a solution to continue this principle according to the actual rate.
Use of CREG rates per region and per quarter
The CREG rate will soon be determined per region and per quarter.
From 31 January 2025, the configuration must be adjusted to guarantee correct payment rules.
Please note: The adjustment of the rates on the EEVEE platform is the responsibility of the fleet manager. EEVEE does not implement these adjustments automatically.
Practical consequences for invoicing
The CREG rate is available earlier due to this change (the rate is based on the average rate of the past quarter), which means that invoices are sent in the first week of the new month instead of the 20th.
Refunds still take place twice a month: on the 15th and 30th of each month, provided that the invoice has been paid.
Choose which CREG rate you want to use
If you have set multiple CREG rates: Make sure that all drivers are linked to the correct payment rule.
Flemish Region: 28.22 euro cents/kWh
Brussels Capital Region: 32.94 euro cents/kWh
Walloon Region: 32.56 euro cents/kWh
If you use one CREG rate for all employees, regardless of their place of residence: use the lowest rate per quarter: Flemish Region: 28.22 euro cents/kWh
A lower fixed cost per kWh may also be used.
Transition to the new system
December 2024: Reimbursement and invoicing will still take place according to the current configuration. The invoice will be sent no later than 20/1/2025.
From January 2025: The new system will be applied. The invoice for January will be sent in the first week of February 2025.
Removal of the current "CREG BE" tariff
The CREG BE tariff will be removed on 31 January 2025.
Fleet managers must switch to one of the three new tariffs before this date. If this does not happen, the tariff will automatically be set to CREG Flanders (the lowest tariff).
Action points for Fleet managers
Check and adjust your configuration before 31 January 2025 via the payment rules on https://business.eeveemobility.com/dashboard/reimbursements
Select the correct CREG tariff or set a fixed cost.
Make sure everything is set correctly to avoid automatic conversion to CREG Flanders.
Please note: The adjustment of the tariffs on the EEVEE platform is the responsibility of the fleet manager. EEVEE does not automatically implement these adjustments.
