If you travel by public transport or use your own private car, you are eligible for a mileage reimbursement.

The reimbursement is €0.23 net per kilometre, according to Eastmen’s standard mileage reimbursement rules.

Please note the following conditions:

• The first 10 km one way (20 km round trip) are not reimbursed.
• If you live in your own private house, the reimbursement is paid for a maximum of 40 km one way (80 km round trip).
• If you live in Eastmen accommodation, there is no distance limit.
• Only one person per car is eligible for reimbursement if multiple people share the same vehicle.

Yes. Fuel receipts must be submitted for administrative and tax compliance purposes. Please send them to [email protected].

Yes. The average fuel price is reviewed every 3 months and may increase or decrease.

The standard calculation is:

• Average consumption: 1 litre per 20 kilometres
• Average fuel price: €1.95 per litre

Example:
If you drive 60 km per working day:
60 km ÷ 20 = 3 litres
3 litres × €1.95 = €5.85 per working day

Fuel costs are reimbursed via your payslip, based on:

• the average fuel consumption of the car
• the average fuel price in the Netherlands

Reimbursement is not based on €0.23 per kilometre.

No. Fuel cards are not provided. If you are assigned a company car, you pay for fuel yourself at the petrol station.

No. The company car may be used exclusively for commuting to and from work. Private use is strictly prohibited.

If the company car is used privately:

• A €150 fine per violation applies
• The fine will be directly deducted from your salary
• No warnings will be given

Private use without paying bijtelling (taxable benefit) may also result in serious tax issues with the Dutch tax authorities (Belastingdienst) for the driver.

Yes. If a company car is provided, it is free of charge and intended only for commuting between home and work.

A company car may be provided when commuting by bicycle or public transport is not feasible. This decision is made by Eastmen.

No, not all workers receive a company car. Transport is assigned by Eastmen and depends on:

• distance between accommodation and workplace
• availability of vehicles
• operational planning

Some workers:

• receive a bicycle (for example if they live within ±10 km of the workplace), or
• travel together with housemates (carpooling)

Eastmen may change or withdraw a company car at any time if this fits planning or operational needs better.
