Do you have any questions?
Applicable costs include basic fees for internet access (e.g. DSL or cable internet contract) and hardware and equipment costs (e.g. modem, connection, etc.).
No. The costs of using Circula are covered by your employer. For you as an employee, it simply increases your net salary.
No, the flat-rate Internet allowance can be granted regardless of whether the employee works from home or in the company office. Furthermore, it is not assumed that the private Internet connection is used for business purposes at all. The employee can also use the Internet 100% privately.
The Internet Benefit is set at a maximum of €50 per month.
According to § 40 Section 2 No. 5 EStG, employers can reimburse their employees expenses for internet use: “In derogation of paragraph 1, the employer may levy wage tax at a flat rate of 25 percent insofar as the employer transfers data processing equipment to employees free of charge or at a reduced price in addition to the remuneration owed anyway; this also applies to accessories and Internet access. The same shall apply to subsidies paid by the employer in addition to the wages owed in any case to cover the employee's expenses for Internet use.”
