Which amount per kilometre does Zegel use?

The flat amount the federal government pays its own staff who travel for work in a private vehicle. The FPS Policy and Support publishes it by circular in the Belgian Official Gazette. Since 1 October 2022 it has changed every quarter; from April to June 2026 there was, as an exception, one amount per month.

Is the allowance tax free?

The FPS Finance accepts that amount as a serious standard. If your employer pays no more per kilometre for business travel, it counts as a refund of the employer’s own costs. If they pay more, they must be able to justify the difference. Commuting follows other rules.

What is the difference between quarterly and yearly?

An employer may also use one amount for a whole year, from 1 July to 30 June. If they choose that, they keep that amount for the whole year. Without that choice, the quarterly amount applies.
