Commuter Benefits Administration Summary
Qualified Transportation Plans (also called Commuter Benefit Plans) allow employers to offer a tax break to employees with qualified transportation expenses related to commuting to and from work. These expenses could be for either transportation or parking. Employees can choose to participate on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified transportation or parking expenses. The employee’s contributions are payroll deducted and deposited to an account maintained by the employer. When the employee incurs an expense for one of the qualifying benefits, the employee is reimbursed from the money deposited in the account. These reimbursements are not subject to Federal income tax, Social Security tax and most state and local taxes; therefore, providing employees with tax-free benefits. The employer saves and reduces expenses because pretax dollars directed into flexible spending accounts are not subject to Social Security (FICA) or federal unemployment (FUTA) taxes.
Medcom Benefit Solutions offers a debit card solution for Transit and Parking benefit plans. The debit card is programmed to work up to the monthly statutory amount and is available for use of Transit and Parking expenses where MasterCard is accepted.
