Mileage allowance scale for actual expenses raised by 10% (2021 income)

The order of 1 February 2022 sets a new flat-rate scale for vehicle travel costs for employees who deduct their actual expenses, applicable to the taxation of 2021 income. For a car, the rate up to 5,000 km rises to €0.502/km (3 fiscal horsepower or less) up to €0.661/km (7 or more); the scales for motorcycles and mopeds are also raised. The Government presented this revision as a 10% increase in the scale in response to higher fuel prices.
