Tax Plan 2026: fiscal barrier removed for public transport bikes and shared bikes

Good news for employers looking to promote sustainable commuting. The 2026 Tax Plan proposes that public transport bikes, shared bikes, and hub bikes that are not, or barely, stored at the employee’s home will no longer be subject to additional taxation.

Until now, a fiscal surcharge of 7% applied, even when the bike was used only for the “last mile,” for example from the station to work, or for a short personal trip. In practice, this discouraged some employers from offering shared bikes, or made registration and administration unnecessarily complex.

With the announced change, this fiscal barrier disappears. This means it will be easier and more attractive for employers to encourage all types of bike use, and for employees to make greater use of public transport bikes, shared bikes, and hub bikes.

Do you want to take this opportunity to further encourage cycling within your organisation? You can do so through Mobility Concept. Our mobility platform provides access to both public transport bikes and other shared bike providers, and we can also assist with introducing pool bikes at your company location.
