Finally! The FPS Finance has officially confirmed that the use of  the CREG rate is now permanently accepted as the standard method for reimbursing employees' home charging sessions. 

Until recently, there was an end date for the use of  the CREG rate, which was set to expire on December 31, 2025. But that expiration date has now been removed, providing companies and entrepreneurs with a clear and stable outlook for the future. The reimbursement method based on the “actual” electricity price will therefore not be introduced.

There is no longer a need to worry about making additional investments from next year onward, such as installing extra electricity meters. Fears of an enormous administrative burden due to complex calculations also disappear! Moreover, the risk of requalifying reimbursements as a taxable benefit in kind (BIK) is now off the table. 

At Pluginvest, we are very pleased that the government has now permanently accepted this approach — something we have long advocated for through our industry federation EV Belgium. This decision supports the transition to electric mobility in Belgium and removes additional barriers. It also shows that our government takes the electric mobility revolution seriously and is committed to supporting it by seeking constructive solutions!  

The new method for using the CREG rate will take effect on January 1, 2025, and will be published quarterly by FPS Finance. Want to learn more about this new approach? Be sure to check our previous blog post: CREG rate officially allowed for reimbursement of charging sessions.
