Increase in mileage allowance as of 1 January 2019

As of 1 January 2019, the reimbursement per kilometre travelled has been increased to € 0.15 per kilometre travelled.

For employees who receive a personal travel allowance and, based on this new arrangement, are entitled to a higher travel allowance from 1 January 2019 than they were entitled to on 31 December 2018, the difference will be deducted from the personal travel allowance. However, as an employee, you should not be worse off.

The allowance is only paid on days when work is actually performed. This is prescribed by the tax authorities. The travel allowance scheme does not apply to inflight catering; company arrangements apply to this sector.
