The basics of the internet allowance

With the tax-free internet allowance, you receive an allowance from your employer towards your private and business internet costs at home. You do not have to pay tax or social security contributions for the allowance. You only need to submit an invoice once a year so that the monthly reimbursement can be made automatically with the following month's payslip. You can continue to use your Internet access as usual.

Good to know: The internet allowance can be granted both for ongoing Internet costs and for additional costs incurred.

How it works

1. Pay for and use the Internet as usual
2. Submit the proof of costs in the app once a year and sign the contract addendum via the app
3. Automatically receive the monthly reimbursement with your salary payment

For confirmation

Confirm your internet costs in the app and receive a refund

Simply tap on the large plus icon in the Internet benefit section of the app and enter the total monthly amount of your contract.

In the next step, download the stored document, print it out if necessary and sign it.
This confirms your internet contract to your employer.

In the last step, click on “Submit document” to submit the document you have signed.

If your monthly amount changes, you can renew your application. You can also withdraw it at any time. After one year, you apply for the subsidy again.
