TAX RELIEF ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR EMPLOYEES

That this House calls on the Government to consider offering tax relief at the standard rate of tax on expenses incurred in the use of public transport by employees in travelling to and from their place of employment, so as to offer equality with those who are self-employed and to encourage the use of public transport; and further calls on the Government in cases where employers reimburse such public transport costs to treat such payments as non-taxable benefits.
