As of 2025, teachers and other education personnel in Flanders can lease a bike via their school or educational institution by using (part of) their end-of-year bonus. This makes it possible to lease a bike in a cost-effective and tax-efficient way, which is more advantageous than buying a bike themselves with net wages. <\/p>\n
Whether you want an e-bike, a sporty road bike, or even a cargo bike, the choice is yours – and at an attractive tax rate!<\/p>\n

Permanently appointed teachers must decide before 1 January 2025 whether they want to use (part of) their end-of-year bonus for a lease bike in 2025. If teachers decide to start a bike lease during 2025, this will be possible from 2026. For other teachers (temporary, non-permanent, etc.) there is currently still uncertainty. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nNo, if you work for multiple school boards, you can only lease a bike from one school board. You can also only lease one bike at a time. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nSchool boards are not required to offer bike leasing, but it is an attractive benefit for staff. If your school does not yet offer this, it is certainly worth talking to the school board. It does not cost the school anything extra, and it has only advantages for both the school and the teacher! <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nAt Cycle Valley!
