From 2026, Belgian legislation could require employers to offer a mobility budget to all employees entitled to a company car.
What is about to change for your customers?
Obligation to offer an alternative to the company car
From 1 January 2027, the law requires employers with 50 or more employees who have been providing company cars for more than 36 months to also offer the mobility budget as an alternative. Employers with 15 to 49 employees follow on 1 January 2028, while those with fewer than 15 employees remain exempt.
A budget that is still calculated on the basis of the TCO, to be divided into three spending categories
The mobility budget is based on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the vehicle to which the employee is entitled (leasing, fuel, insurance, taxes, etc.).
The employee can then divide this budget between:
- an electric car (if offered by the employer).
- sustainable mobility solutions (public transport, bicycle, living close to work, etc.).
- the payment in cash of the remaining amount, subject to a special contribution of 38.07%.
The aim is to encourage more sustainable mobility and offer more flexibility in wage policy.
Even though not all details have been laid down yet, the contours are becoming clearer. Companies would do well to take steps now.
What is your role as a partner?
You are indispensable to alert companies to this evolution and to support them in:
- auditing their current practices.
- rethinking their mobility policy.
- preparing HR for this transition.
This measure goes beyond mere fleet management. It’s all about a sustainable mobility policy tailored to each employee.
Good to know: the possible abolition of the 36-month waiting period before a mobility budget can be offered can accelerate this introduction.
Monizze will enter the site this autumn
To support you in this evolution and to guide your customers, we will contact you in the autumn.
During interactive sessions, we look together at how you and your customers can best prepare for this evolution.
