Why partner with Mbrella?

With Mbrella, companies can centrally manage both company cars and mobility budgets within one platform.

Mbrella combines fleet management, mobility budgets, and mobility expenses into one integrated solution, with support for HR, payroll, and policy integrations

How does the combination of fleet and mobility budget work?

Within Mbrella, employers can offer different mobility options such as company cars, public transport, bikes, or charging costs and manage them under a single contract and policy.

This allows employees to choose flexibly, while the company retains control over costs, administration, and compliance.

Why combine both in one platform?

By centralising fleet and mobility budgets in one platform:

• You reduce administrative complexity
• You work with one contract and one provider
• You manage costs, policies, and reporting in one place

Housing costs can only be paid related to your share of the housing costs or related to the costs of living-in household family members. Housing costs of a boyfriend/girlfriend/roommate is hereby not possible.

It will be. Companies with more than 50 employees will have until 1 January 2027 to comply, and until 1 January 2028 for companies with 15 to 50 employees. Companies with fewer than 15 employees are currently exempt. The ONSS ‘importance code’ is used to determine the average number of employees (set each year in January by the ONSS based on employment during the reference period, which includes the first three quarters of the previous year and the fourth quarter of the year before that). Exception: employers qualifying as a “company in difficulty” (according to the applicable fiscal definition) are not required to offer the mobility budget when the 36‑month condition is met.

The main objectives of the mobility budget in Belgium are to reduce CO2 emissions and decrease traffic congestion by giving employees the option to exchange their company car for a budget that they can flexibly spend on a wider range of sustainable transport solutions and/or housing costs. This promotes environmentally friendly mobility, increases flexibility for employees, and reduces dependence on company cars.

The Flex mobility budget is a budget that all employees can use to reimburse their sustainable mobility expenses. They can spend the budget on public transport, parking, electric steps, shared bikes... instead of limiting their options to only train for instance. It's the ideal alternative for companies that don't meet the strict conditions of the federal mobility budget or who want to reward their employees with a sustainable perk. But no housing costs are possible, and taxes and social contributions are paid depending the expense type.

Employees eligible for the Federal mobility budget must either have a company car or be eligible for one under their employer's (car) policy. The previous waiting period requirement has been removed, allowing immediate eligibility. However, the mobility budget can only available if the employer meets some requirements (See "Is my company eligible to offer the mobility budget?")

This offering tax benefits and promoting sustainable mobility.
