Commuting allowance

Due to rising fuel prices, the planned increase in the commuting allowance from 2024 was brought forward retroactively to January 2022. The reason for this is the recently passed Tax Relief Act of May 23, 2022. For the years 2022 to 2026, a commuting allowance of 0.38 euros will now apply from the 21st kilometer of distance.
