Verified 17 April 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Goods or services provided by an employer to an employee or by an association to a volunteer (food, accommodation, vehicle, mobile phone, microcomputer, internet access, etc.)
Annual rent that the property could produce if leased. Use as a basis for calculating local direct taxes: residential tax on second homes, property tax, company property tax (CFE).
Your employer gives you benefits, whether they are in kind or money? They are part of your remuneration. So they're taxable and you have to report them. We'll tell you what you need to know.
What applies to you ?

The housing benefit is assessed on a flat rate basis. But the employer can choose to assess it based on the cadastral rental value.
The flat-rate scale shall be established as follows:

Less than €1,932.00 | €75.40 | €40.40 |

From €2,318.40 to €2,704.80 | €100.40 | €75.40 |
From €2,704.80 to €3,477.60 | €113.00 | €94.10 |
From €3,477.60 to €4,250.40 | €138.40 | €119.30 |
From €4,250.40 to €5,023.20 | €163.30 | €144.10 |
