Is bike leasing on my legal mobility budget including or excluding VAT?

Understanding how VAT works with bike leasing on your mobility budget

Written by Zeynep

You've chosen a bike lease through your legal mobility budget, but you're wondering whether the amount deducted includes VAT or not. Let's clear this up.

How VAT works with bike leasing on your legal mobility budget

When you lease a bike through your legal mobility budget ⚙️, the amount charged to your budget always includes VAT. This applies whether the bike is leased privately by you as an employee or professionally through your employer.

Here's why: The mobility budget reflects the actual cost of the mobility solution. Even though employers may potentially recover part of the VAT in certain cases (for example, when the bike is used for business purposes), the full amount including VAT is what gets charged to your mobility budget.

What does this mean for you?

💡 When you see bike leasing offers in your mobility hub, the prices shown already include VAT. This is the amount that will be deducted from your legal mobility budget each month.
