frais réels vs standard deduction on income tax for an employee
I want to compare frais réels vs standard deduction for an employee contract.
My workplace is 45km from me so it’s 90km a day by car, I know that I can claim up to 80km a day and deduct it from the income taxes.
I heard if I claim 50% transport from my employer I won’t be able to claim the 80km a day (by car) is it the case?
Should I accept the 50% transport bonus from my employer or should I pay for the transport myself and then declare that I go by car every day (but sometimes I will take the train)?
By declaring 80km a day how much taxes can I get back and will I get them back in August 2025?
Next year when I do the French tax return do I have to provide the receipt for the car’s petrol?
Also, I heard that I can claim 4euros a day as my company does not provide lunch.
I am just trying to legally pay as less tax as possible.
(as you know I am on a CDI)
Thanks,
Manuel
