If you use the bike more than 10% for business purposes, you can reclaim the VAT on a pro rata basis. The tax advantage also results, among other things, from the fact that instalment payments and maintenance costs have a positive influence on the operating result and the basic allowance of 15%.
Do you want to continue cycling after the lease period? No problem! You can take over your leased bicycle for about 12%. Including takeover, you are up to 35% cheaper than buying privately.
Reviews from those already using a company bicycle.
Offering its employees company bicycle leasing via Lease a Bike is cost-neutral for the employer.
Premature termination of a leasing agreement is allowed under certain circumstances during the contractually agreed period of 36 or 48 months. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you!
In the event that continued remuneration is discontinued, e.g. leaving work due to prolonged illness, parental leave or other possible reasons, we are happy to work with you to find the best solution for you, up to and including an individual, cost-neutral return for you as the employer, provided that one of the following options is not possible or does not apply.
This can be, for example:
● Change of user: Offering the company bicycle to another employee for the remaining term of the agreement and taking all measures required internally for this purpose. (e.g. supplementary agreements to the employment contract, handover of the company bicycle, etc.)
● Early termination of the existing leasing contract. The colleague who leaves the company pays off the remaining else installments (without service and insurance costs)
● Cost-neutral dissolution. Lease a Bike offers a company in some cases an early, cost-neutral termination of existing individual leasing contracts. The conditions for this are defined in the cooperation agreement

Lease a Bike offers the company bicycle to the employee on request at a currently expected purchase price of 5% (48 months) or 15% (36 months) at the end of the contract. We pay a lump-sum tax on the monetary benefit resulting from the difference between 5% or 15% of the expected purchase price and the currently set market price of 40%. Proof of the flat-rate taxation treatment by us is provided on the sales invoice of the used company bicycle. Thus, the employer is not required to make a lump-sum or individual taxation of the monetary benefit arising from the sale to the employee via the wages and salaries accounting itself.
