What commutation expenses are eligible for tax-free reimbursement?
In order for expenses to be eligible for tax-free reimbursement, they must be incurred only for the purpose of commuting between your residence and your work site. All submitted claims must be accompanied by receipts for the incurred expenses. • Mass Transit CERA: Expenses for mass transit must be incurred for traveling to and from work via mass transit or in a commuter vehicle that seats at least six adults plus a driver. The most common examples are bus, train, ferry, and subway. Vanpools are also eligible if they carry at least six adults and transport you to or near your place of work, and you provide a receipt for the official vanpool fees. Ineligible Expenses: Expenses incurred for traveling to and from work by taxi, car pool, and limousine do not qualify for reimbursement from a Mass Transit CERA. • Parking CERA: Expenses for parking must be incurred either near your work site or at a location where you commute via qualified mass transit (e.g., park and ride).
