An employer can grant a flat-rate kilometric allowance to his staff members who use their private car for work-related travel. As from 01 July 2016, a new amount is applicable and for the second year in a row the amount drops.

The incurred car expenses can be reimbursed by the employer at a fixed amount provided that it is determined according to serious standards. The FPS Finance accepts that the allowances for car expenses cover the real costs if the amount fixed on the basis of the actual kilometres travelled does not exceed the amount of the similar allowances which the State grants to its staff by virtue of the Royal Decree of 18 January 1965 laying down general regulations in regard to travel costs.

The following amount is applicable from 01 July 2016 until 30 June 2017: € 0.3363/km. This means a decrease compared to the amount that was applicable from 01 July 2015 until 30 June 2016: € 0.3412/km.
