The “300 plus” relief for an employee allows you to deduct expenses related to commuting to work. How much you can gain depends on the distance you have to cover on your way to the headquarters of the company where we work.

You can gain more when you are away from your place of residence, because then you are entitled to PLN 300. Annually, this gives as much as PLN 3,600, which can be deducted.

However, it should be remembered that only the costs of travel by rail, public transport or ferry are included, and the paid tickets for travel should be kept.

Relief for commuting to work. How much can you gain from it?

“300 plus” for the employee increases the tax deductible costs, which positively reduces the tax base. This means that in real terms, we will not receive an additional PLN 250 or PLN 300 per month, but they will be much smaller. In the end, the employee will be left with about PLN 9 per month, which gives a little over PLN 100 per year.
