Does the exchange of multiple choice system for travel expenses count towards alimony calculation?

Questioner

At work I have the option to make the following arrangement: Within the tax legislation, there is the possibility to reimburse an amount of €0.19 per kilometre tax-free for commuting. The kilometre allowance in the collective labour agreement for hospitals is lower. The difference between the maximum tax-exempt amount and the reimbursed amount per kilometre can be exchanged with your end-of-year bonus. (A part of) the gross end-of-year bonus is paid out net. The advantage for you as an employee is that you pay less payroll tax. This only applies if you fall under the collective labour agreement for hospitals. Is this compensation also included in the maintenance calculation?

When calculating alimony, the cost of living can be taken into account, which can also include transportation costs or mileage allowance. However, mileage allowance is not automatically included in the alimony calculation. The maintenance debtor's ability to pay is calculated on the basis of net income and necessary expenses, including housing costs, medical expenses and car/transport costs. If the maintenance debtor can claim a mileage allowance, this can mean a reduction in transport costs and thus increase the ability to pay. However, it is considered on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the mileage allowance is used entirely for extra car maintenance in practice, it will probably not affect the calculation. For this reason, it is important to consult a lawyer or attorney to be able to make an accurate estimate. Furthermore, the actual alimony can still be influenced by specific circumstances or headings for which money must be set aside (such as unforeseen expenses, debt repayment, etc.). I would advise you to contact a lawyer or attorney to discuss the specific situation and options. May I refer you to www.echtscheidingswinkel.nl?
