Re: Possible to claim re: travel to & from work?
In line with current EMS's (environmental management systems - ISO14001) a lot of employers are allowing staff to purchase long term travel tickets (monthly/yearly etc.) directly through payroll, allowing you this purchase to avail of tax benefits.
Its not all to well advertised but I'd guess that's mostly due to a lack of understanding....
"In Ireland, a tax concession for employer-provided public transport tickets purchased from a licensed passenger transport service was made under the 1999 Finance Act. Benefits in kind by way of monthly or annual bus and rail passes were exempted, subject to an annual limit of €884"
If you skip along to appendix 4 it goes through it as clearly as I've come across.
