Tax Deduction Restored for Employers Offering Transit Commuter Benefits.
This bill restores the ability for employers to deduct the costs associated with providing employees with qualified public transit passes or commuter vehicle benefits. The goal is to incentivize companies to offer these benefits, thereby reducing commuting costs for workers and supporting public transportation use. If the benefit is offered through a salary reduction agreement, the employer's deduction is limited to 50%.
Key points
Employers can once again deduct the cost of providing transit passes and commuter vehicle benefits from their taxes.
This change encourages companies to offer subsidized commuting options, lowering daily travel expenses for employees.
If an employee chooses the transit benefit instead of cash salary (salary reduction agreement), the employer can only deduct 50% of that cost.
