Tax deductions for employers providing transit benefits to employees.
This new act allows employers to deduct certain transportation benefits provided to employees from their taxes, such as public transit passes. The goal is to encourage companies to support public transportation commutes, potentially lowering commuting costs for employees and reducing traffic congestion.
Key points
Employers can deduct costs for public transit passes or other transportation benefits provided to employees.
If an employee can choose between a transportation benefit and cash, the employer's deduction is reduced.
The changes apply to expenses paid or incurred after the act's enactment date.
