How much travel allowance can I reimburse tax-free for a corporate event?

In 2025 you can give staff a tax-free travel allowance of €0.23 per kilometre. This applies to travel by private car to business activities, including events. It falls under the targeted exemption within the work-related expenses scheme (WKR).

For public transport, you can reimburse the actual costs tax-free. There is no maximum kilometres per day, but the trip must be business-related. A staff party, team day, conference or kick-off event normally qualifies.

Always check with your payroll department for large groups or large total amounts.
