Tax-free transport, made simple
Thanks to a binding ruling from Inland Revenue and FBT reform, employers can now offer public transport benefits via Extraordinary.
That means employees can now use pre-tax income to pay for travel, saving them $768+ annually on commuting costs. While employers enhance their benefit offering without increasing salary costs. It’s the first solution of its kind in New Zealand. And it’s available now.
Your questions, our answers.
Currently, four cards are supported under the approved ruling: AT HOP (Auckland), Snapper (Wellington), Metrocard (Canterbury), Bee Card (regional NZ).
Yes. The Extraordinary Card works anywhere these cards are accepted. The “Public Transport” category in the Extraordinary platform ensures contributions are only redeemable for transit-related top-ups.
You control contribution limits and can stop top-ups at any time via the Extraordinary platform. Funds are employer-allocated and non-transferable for personal use.
Yes. You can make the benefit available to all staff or just certain groups (e.g. office-based, regular commuters, or those returning on-site). In salary reduction scenarios, employees opt in voluntarily by agreeing to a temporary reduction in salary in exchange for employer-funded public transport contributions, as confirmed in the IRD Product Ruling.
Employees opt in to redirect part of their salary before tax to fund commuting costs. This lowers their taxable income, increasing take-home pay. Employers allocate the sacrificed amount to public transport, resulting in a valuable, tax-efficient benefit for both parties.
