What is the Legal mobility budget? ☝️

The Legal mobility budget is an alternative to the traditional company car. It allows employees to switch their company car for a green and tax-free mobility budget. Eco-friendly cars also fit in the mobility budget.

Your advantage as employer 🤩

It's cost-neutral. The budget equals the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the company car. You pay the same as you would for a company car
Optimise your salary package. It’s one of the most beneficial salary advantages in Belgium because of the absent taxes

Who is the Legal mobility budget for? 🏢

The following 2 conditions should be met before giving an employee access to the Legal mobility budget.

The employer should have at least one company car provided to at least one employee for an uninterrupted period of 36 months before the implementation of the legal mobility budget.
The employee has a company car or is eligible to have one.

Don't worry if you don't meet these conditions. We recommend you to implement a Flex mobility budget with Mbrella. Same principle. Only less tax advantages.

Note: The uninterrupted waiting period of 36 months does not apply to new companies (<36 months active).

What can I spend the Legal mobility budget on? 💸

This budget can be spent across 3 categories, called ‘pillars’. A big advantage is that it can be spent on housing costs as well!

Pillar 1 | An eco-friendly company car.

Choose an electric car or a car that scores better than your current company car

full electric
max 95g CO2/km
min 0,5kWh/100kg car weight for hybrids

Pillar 2 | A range of sustainable mobility options (bike, public transport, rent, ...) within the EEA

Spend across any of 100+ options

Soft mobility: purchase or lease an (electric) bike)
Non-personal mobility: public transport, shared mobility (cars, bikes, steps, etc.)
Housing expenses: rent, monthly interest and capital repayments on their loans, when located within 10 km of your office. Working from home more than 50% of the time? Then you can use your mobility budget to cover your housing costs!

Pillar 3 | Cash at a favorable tax rate

Receive the end-of-year leftover of your mobility budget in cash.

This amount is reduced by a special employee contribution of 38.07%, used for your social rights, such as your pension.

How can employees spend across pillar 2? 💳

Expenses. Employees add expenses to Mbrella themselves. Your HR approves them. Free functionality
Mobility payment cards. Recommended for heavy users of shared mobility (eg: Uber, Lime,...) but comes with a cost
