An employer may grant a flat-rate office allowance to employees who work from home on a structural and regular basis for a substantial part of their working time, as reimbursement of expenses properly due by the employer.
The flat-rate office allowance covers all office expenses. These are all costs that have to be incurred on a regular basis in order to carry out the professional activity in a normal way.
The allowance can be granted to employees working from home on a structural and regular basis, i.e. the equivalent of one working day per week (e.g. one full working day per week, two half working days per week or several days of a few hours worked during normal working hours). This is assessed on a monthly basis.
The employer may grant a flat-rate office allowance of up to €129.48 per month.
This maximum amount had already been increased to €144.31 per month for April, May and June 2021.
The government has decided to increase the maximum amount of €129.48 per month also for July, August and September 2021 to a maximum amount of €144.31 per month.
In addition to the flat-rate office allowance of €129.48 per month (€144.31 per month in the second and third quarters of 2021), the employer may grant the following additional flat-rate allowances:
- an allowance of maximum €20 per month for the professional use of a private Internet connection and subscription and
- an allowance of up to €20 per month for the professional use of a personal computer with peripherals, or
- an allowance of up to €10 per month (€5 per item) for the professional use of a personal second computer screen, printer/scanner without a private computer.
