TRANSIT COMMUTER BENEFITS:
With federal-tax benefits, it really does pay to ride transit! Employers offering transit commuter benefits can take advantage of federal-tax benefits
as outlined by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, also known as TEA-21.
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 132, the transit commuter benefit allows employers to give their employees up to $105 per month to cover public
transportation costs as a tax-free benefit. Alternatively, employers can allow employees to pay for the commuter benefit with payroll deductions.
Or
An employer can pay for the cost of the transit commuter benefit for their employees. The employer’s cost of providing transit benefits can be deducted
as a normal business expense.
Or
Employers can share the cost of commuting with their employees by paying for part of the transit commuter benefit and allowing employees to pay for the
remainder with pre-tax dollars.
