Petrol bonus of 200 euros, this is what the 2022 fuel voucher is and how it works.
Cuts on petrol and diesel for around 25 cents per liter for 30 days, controlled bills for 5.2 million households with Isee under 12 thousand euros (up from 4 million) and the possibility for companies to pay in installments those for consumption in May and June for a maximum of 24 months. Mario Draghi launches the “price cutter” and fielded another 4.4 billion against the expensive energy and the surge in costs at the pump.
The petrol bonus
For the 2022the amount worth petrol vouchers sold free of charge by private companies to employees, within the limit of 200 euros per worker, does not contribute to the formation of income. That is, they will be tax free. There are no requirements or income caps to be able to access this benefit. The only limitation so far anticipated by the law is that the measure is intended for employees of private companies. It was already foreseen that the companies could grant a contribution of up to 258.23 euros per year for the so-called “fringe benefits”: vouchers, fuel vouchers or shopping vouchers. In 2020 and 2021, during the pandemic, the amount was doubled to 516.46 euros as an economic support measure.
“The charges deriving from this article – the decree reads – valued at 9.9 million euros for the year 2022 and 0.9 million euros for the year 2023 are provided in accordance with article 38”
Must the fuel voucher be requested?
No. It will be up to the company to decide whether and to what extent to provide it and grant it to employees. No application is therefore envisaged.
Contrast increase in fuel prices
Reduction of 25 cents in the price of fuel, petrol and diesel, through a cut in excise duties until the end of April. The cost of the measure is financed by the taxation of 10% of the extra profits of the energy companies.
