JobService encourages its employees to travel by public transport. Subject to certain conditions, commuting costs are tax deductable. The following link takes you to the website of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration where you will find tables showing the commuter tax allowance for private and public transport.

The UvA offers a commuting allowance for employees who travel to and from work by public transport.

UvA commuting allowance

If you are seconded to the UvA, you can use a part of your salary as an allowance towards your commuting expenses.

For the commuting allowance, UvA JobService B.V. follows the UvA scheme as far as possible. The UvA uses a salary conversion scheme for the commuting allowance. This is a tax arrangement in which a part of your salary is used towards an allowance for commuting costs. A taxable component of your salary is traded in for a non-taxable component.

UvA JobService calculates the result of this allowance for you. The resulting amount is paid to you as a net sum.

If you would like to participate in this scheme, see the information leaflet and the application form. You should send the completed form by post to UvA JobService.
