What are Flexible Remuneration Nursery Tickets?

Flexible Remuneration Nursery Tickets are a benefit that your company offers you so that you can pay the nursery expenses of your children under 3 years old with tax advantages. The amount allocated to the tickets is deducted directly from your gross salary, which reduces the taxable base of your IRPF and, therefore, you pay less taxes.

Main Advantages

• Tax savings: By paying for nursery through flexible remuneration, you reduce the taxable base of your IRPF, so you pay less taxes.
• Ease of use: The tickets are accepted by a wide network of collaborating nurseries.
• No direct disbursement: The amount is deducted directly from your payroll, so you do not need to make payments on your own.

FAQ Flexible Remuneration Nursery Tickets

What does flexible compensation mean?

Flexible compensation is a compensation model in which part of your salary is used to purchase products or services, such as childcare vouchers, transport vouchers or health insurance. This part of your salary is not subject to income tax withholding, which allows you to pay less tax.

What is the exact tax savings I can get?

The tax savings depend on your personal situation, such as your gross salary and your marginal income tax rate. Normally, you can save between 20% and 45% of the amount allocated to tickets.

When does the benefit come into effect?

The benefit comes into effect once your company formalizes the contracting of the ticket service. The start dates usually coincide with the beginning of a month, but it depends on the agreement with the provider.

What happens if I leave the company?

If you leave the company, you may lose access to childcare vouchers. Check with Human Resources to find out what options are available to you in this case.
