Luxembourg: what applies to you
A bike your employer provides for your use is tax-free for you. Ask your employer whether they offer one. More from the Administration des contributions directes.
Cycling to work? Your employer can help pay
In many countries your employer may pay for your bike or your cycling kilometres tax-free. Choose your country and see what it means for a STRIDA.

Austria
A company bike you may also use privately and for commuting counts as a taxable benefit of €0, also through salary conversion above the collective agreement. Your commuter allowance (Pendlerpauschale) stays. See § 4b Sachbezugswerteverordnung.
Belgium
Employers may pay a bicycle allowance of up to €0.37 per kilometre cycled, tax-free up to €3,700 a year (2026). In sectors without their own agreement, at least €0.27 per kilometre is compulsory. A company or lease bike from your employer that you use for commuting is exempt from benefit-in-kind tax. More from the FPS Finance.
France
Private employers can pay you a tax-free mobility allowance (forfait mobilités durables) for cycling to work: up to €600 a year, or €900 together with a public transport pass. It is optional for employers. See service-public.gouv.fr.
With €600 a year, a STRIDA from €1,149 pays for itself in about 23 months.
Germany
With a company bike through salary conversion (Dienstrad-Leasing) only 0.25% of the list price a month counts as a taxable benefit; provided on top of your salary, nothing does. Both until the end of 2030. The commuting allowance in your tax return is €0.38 per kilometre from the first kilometre, by bike too. More from the Federal Ministry of Finance.
| Model | List price | A quarter, rounded down to €100 | Taxable benefit a month (1%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| STRIDA LT | €1,149 | €200 | €2.00 |
| STRIDA 5 QR+ | €1,199 | €200 | €2.00 |
| STRIDA SX | €1,249 | €300 | €3.00 |
How it works: the list price is divided by four and rounded down to whole hundreds; 1% of that is added to your taxable income each month. You do not pay that small amount: you pay the leasing instalment from your gross salary, which lowers your income tax and social contributions, and on the benefit you only pay tax at your own rate (for example €2.00 × 35% ≈ €0.70 a month). If your employer provides the bike on top of your salary, the benefit is €0.
Ireland
Through the Cycle to Work scheme your employer buys the bike and you pay it back from your gross salary, saving income tax, USC and PRSI on up to €1,250 for a standard bike, once every four years. See Revenue.
A STRIDA from €1,149 fits within it entirely: you save income tax, USC and PRSI on the whole amount.
Italy
In Italy we know of no national tax benefit for a bike through your job (October 2026). Some employers offer a bike as a staff benefit (welfare aziendale) within the fringe-benefit limits, and some municipalities pay an allowance for kilometres cycled: ask your employer or your municipality. Know a scheme? Let us know.
Netherlands
In 2026 your employer may pay you up to €0.25 per kilometre tax-free for your commute, also by bike. Through the work-related costs scheme (WKR) your employer can give or reimburse a bike tax-free, directly with us or via Nationale Fiets Projecten or FiscFree. A company bike you also use privately adds 7% of the list price a year to your taxable income. Dutch bike vouchers (Nationale Fietsbon): email us at info@strida.lu. More from the Belastingdienst.
Spain
In Spain we know of no national tax benefit for a bike through your job (October 2026). Under the new Sustainable Mobility Act (Ley 9/2025), companies with more than 200 employees must have a commuting plan in which cycling can play a part: ask your employer. Know a scheme? Let us know.
Sweden
A bike your employer provides (förmånscykel) is tax-free as long as its benefit value stays under SEK 3,000 a year; only the amount above that is taxed. See Skatteverket.
Countries without a known scheme
In Denmark, Portugal and Finland we know of no national tax benefit for a bike through your job (October 2026); in Denmark a company bike you may use privately is taxed, and in Finland the tax-free company bike no longer applies to new agreements. Some regions and employers have their own schemes, so ask your employer. Know one? Let us know.
