TAXATION OF TRAVEL CARDS

Motion Text

That this House believes that the provision by employers of travel cards, season tickets and bus passes to staff is an encouragement to use public transport and therefore entirely commensurate with the Government's policy of reducing congestion and promoting the greater use of public transport; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to recognise the merits of such schemes by abolishing the rule that considers such provision as a taxable benefit.
