Bicycle as a Benefit

Long-term rental of bicycles and e-bikes – framework of operational leasing

Prerequisites for the use of tax benefits: 

• This benefit is provided in a non-monetary form, based on an agreement between the employer and the employee, which stipulates that for a period of 24 months, part of the employee’s salary, bonuses or special rewards will be provided in kind by the long-term use of the employer’s bicycle (e-bike).
• The employer pays the rent to the leasing company, not the employee.
• The bicycle shall not be transferred to the employee’s ownership during the period when it is provided for long-term use.

How does it work?

• The employee chooses the bike he/she is interested in from the KOLONAOPERAK.CZ project offer.
• The employer enters into a leasing agreement with a leasing company for the long-term lease of the selected bicycle.
• The employer provides the selected bicycle to the employee for long-term free use.
• The employee and the employer enter into an agreement detailing the terms and conditions of the employee’s use of the selected bicycle and describing the consequences of the employee terminating employment with the employer before the lease of the selected bicycle ends.
• The selected bicycle is the property of the leasing company for the duration of the long-term lease, with the employer having the option to buy the bicycle at a pre-agreed price or return it to the leasing company at the end of the lease.
• It depends on the agreement between the employee and the employer whether the employer will allow the employee to buy the bike of his choice from the employer at the end of the long-term lease.
