Employees who work from home on a structural and regular basis for a substantial part of their working time, may receive a flat-rate office allowance from their employer to cover all their office expenses.

The National Social Security Office (NSSO) informs us that this flat-rate office allowance is indexed.

The maximum flat-rate amount allowed by the NSSO as a reimbursement of expenses and not subject to social security contributions, will amount to 151.70€ per month as from 1 December 2023. Until 30 November 2023, the flat-rate amount was 148.73€/month.

The tax authorities also accept this amount as a (non-taxable) reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the provisions of the Circular of 26 February 2021 on employers' compensations for homework.
