The Swedish Tax Agency provides a great opportunity for employers to reward and invest in their employees through the wellness allowance. This is a tax-free benefit where you as an employee can get deductions on activities that promote exercise, health and well-being. It is useful both at work and in private life.
With us at Sweden by Bike, you can easily book complete cycling packages that include cycling every day, with or without a guide. Cycling on vacation is a fantastic investment in both body and soul, and it is a sustainable form of exercise that most people can enjoy, regardless of level. Holidays and time off are an opportunity to recover and develop habits that promote wellbeing all year round. Perhaps a cycling holiday will lead you to start cycling to work instead of taking the bus or car?
How much is the wellness allowance?
The main activity for all cycling packages is cycling (described in number of kilometers presented per day). We estimate that 20% of the price of the cycling trip can be attributed to the physical activity. This corresponds to the costs of getting out on the trip.
How do I get a wellness allowance?
We can provide you as an employee with a certificate of how much of the bicycle trip consists of activity. This applies to all bicycle trips booked via swedenbybike.com. Please note that it is the employer who, taking into account its own policy and the rules of the Tax Agency, authorizes the contribution.
Send an email to info@swedenbybike.com once you've booked and paid for your bike trip, we'll help you further!
