That is what the social partners think. &#8220;<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Today, it is still far too complex,&#8221; they say.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The mobility budget is a system that allows employees to exchange their company car for a budget they can spend on various &#8216;greener&#8217; mobility solutions, such as a smaller or an electric car, public transport, a bicycle, or even housing costs, such as part of the rent or mortgage. The mobility budget is calculated based on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the company car to which an employee is entitled.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>January 2027<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">A draft law, which received the Federal Council of Ministers&#8217; green light earlier this year, makes the mobility budget mandatory from January 1, 2027, for employers with at least 50 employees who provide company cars. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">For SMEs with more than 15 employees, the mobility budget will be introduced a year later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, <span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">the social partners believe that the system must be simplified first before it becomes mandatory. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">This involves, among other things, reducing administrative complexity and simplifying the calculation of the mobility budget, known as the &#8216;Total Cost of Ownership&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>&#8216;Perverse effects&#8217;<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">They also ask to temporarily exclude certain categories of employees pending the further evolution of electric vehicles. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">After all, some positions are difficult to combine with alternative mobility; think of sales representatives, home nurses, or other mobile professions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>T<span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">he share of the mobility budget that can be spent on housing costs would be limited to 50 percent, &#8220;to avoid perverse effects&#8221;. O<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">therwise, the system would be less about mobility and become more of a tax benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">A majority of employees with a mobility budget use it, at least in part, to finance their housing costs. This option is attractive because it is completely tax-free. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">There is a fear that employees with a company car will switch en masse to reimbursement of housing costs due to the mandatory introduction of the mobility budget,<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u00a0and the trade unions and employers&#8217; organizations want to prevent this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Too complex<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The mobility budget system has been around for a while, but its use remains relatively limited.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Of all companies required to offer a mobility budget starting next year, only 1 in 10 currently does so.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Many find the system far too complex and drop out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">According to the latest figures, about 20,000 employees have a mobility budget.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">That is only about 1% of all employees.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Or, in other words, approximately 1 in 24 employees with a company car opts for it. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">H<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">owever, because Belgium has approximately 600,000 company cars \u2013 <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">15% of all employees have one \u2013<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u00a0that number should rise sharply soon. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Niche<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">In short, the mobility budget is still a niche alongside a very dominant company car system, but i<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">t is gaining popularity.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The trend is remarkably positive, with +437% growth between 2023 and 2025. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">In Brussels, approximately 16% of eligible recipients are already opting for the budget. Moreover, the number of companies offering it is increasing every year.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The problem is that today, only \u00b12.5% of employers actually offer the mobility budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The federal government wants to make the mobility budget mandatory to promote &#8216;green&#8217; mobility and reduce the number of company cars. However, m<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">aking a little-used system mandatory, without simplification, could be counterproductive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What about other countries?<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">A clear trend is visible throughout Europe. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">A mobility budget is a valid alternative to a company car, but it is usually voluntary and not legally mandated. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">About 16% of large companies in Europe already use such a budget, and another 10% plan to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The Netherlands has a system similar to Belgium&#8217;s, but lacks a legal framework. Germany is in a transitional phase, and France provides for a &#8216;mobility allowance&#8217; rather than a real budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The Belgian system is therefore unique because it is regulated at the federal level, offers significant tax benefits, and will become mandatory for many companies starting in 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8216;mobility budget&#8217;\u00a0system must be simplified before it becomes mandatory.
