Corporate Discount Program

There are three ways to save with pre-tax dollars:

• Employee pays for the entire cost of the monthly pass with pre-tax, set-aside dollars from their salary
  • There’s no income tax on these set-aside dollars, so it’s a tax-free transit benefit
  • The set-aside dollar amount is also reflected as a reduction of taxable salary, so employees pay less income tax
    
    
• Employer pays for the entire cost of the monthly pass through a tax-deductible subsidy
  • The employer receives an equivalent federal income tax deduction
  • Employees don’t have to report this option as taxable income because it’s considered a fringe benefit
    
    
• Employer and employee share the cost of the monthly pass, both paying for it with pre-tax dollars
  • It’s a win-win situation

Other tax benefits: Participants who take Metrorail can save even more by also purchasing their $11.25 monthly Metrorail parking permit with pre-tax dollars.

Tax Benefits:

1. The employee pays for the entire cost of monthly transit with pre-tax set/set-aside dollars of their salary.

• There is no income tax on these set-aside dollars. It's a tax-free transit benefit that employees can obtain through their employers.
• The set-aside dollar amount is also reflected as a reduction of taxable salary, so employees pay less income tax.

2. The employer pays for the entire cost of monthly transit through a tax-deductible subsidy.

• The employer receives an equivalent federal income tax deduction.
• Employees do not have to report this option as taxable income because it is considered a fringe benefit.

3. The employer and employee share the cost of monthly transit, both paying for it with pre-tax dollars.

• The employer saves on payroll taxes; the employee doesn't pay income tax on the set-aside dollar amount.
