Company bike or employer-provided bicycle is an employee benefit, free of income tax. The tax benefit is up to €1,200 per year (€100/month).

How to acquire a FleetBike company bike?
When your employer has a contract with FleetBike, you can start acquiring your new bike.
1. Read you employer’s Bike benefit policy. After that, fill in our acquisition form.
2. After you’ve submitted the form, we’ll confirm the acquisition right from your employer. After it has been confirmed, we will send you a commitment document to sign through SignSpace service.
3. After signing the commitment document, you will recieve instructions by email for yourself and the bike dealer store.
4. Now you can go to the stores and start looking for a bike. If you’d like to order a Canyon bike, read more detailed instructions below.
5. After you’ve chosen the bike you want, the dealer store will ask for permission to invoice Fleet Innovation. Responding to the inquiry takes normally from 2 to 4 working days. In high season, the delay can be even longer. For example, spring is a busy season for bike acquisitions and there are many people trying to do the same as you.
6. When the dealer store has the permission to invoice Fleet, it sends the invoice to Fleet and gives the bike to you. (Some stores expect having received the payment before handing out the bike which slightly prolongs the waiting time.)
Getting a Canyon bike
If you’d like to have your company bike from Canyon brand, it is possible. However, you need to order the bike through Fleet Innovation customer service. Before starting the acquisition, remember to fill in our acquisition form.
If you want to order a bike that costs over €4,000, you need to pay the exceeding amount yourself. The maximum price limit is €6,000. We’ll invoice for the difference after we have ordered the bike.

Q&A
You can shop at any bike dealer that has a Finnish business ID. You can also use the Canyon online store and order your Canyon bike through our customer service.
You can get a mountain bike, a fatbike, a city bike or any kind of bike that best suits your needs. Please note the limitations set by the tax authority on the power levels of electric bikes: no more than 250 W and 25 km/h.
You can include a potential delivery fee and certain fixed accessories, such as a helmet, a lock, winter tires or statutory bike lights in the procurement price. Clothing, footwear or GPS/distance trackers cannot be included in the procurement price.
The company bike benefit comes from the employee’s salary. Compared to personally buying a bike from a dealer, the bike benefit will save you 20–40% of the bike’s purchase price.
For example, a bike costing EUR 4,000 with a 48-month contract will cost the employee about EUR 2,880 due to the tax-free nature of the benefit. At the end of the contracting period, you can redeem the bike by paying 5% of the purchase price (in this example, EUR 200).
When the contracting period ends, the employee can decide whether to redeem or return the bike or whether to acquire a new company bike.
The reduction of your net salary is influenced by various factors, such as direct taxation, municipal tax and church tax. Each employee can contact the tax authority for a report on their personal taxation before deciding to use the benefit.
You are in charge of the bike’s maintenance. You can choose to perform the maintenance yourself. You can also conclude a personal maintenance contract with an appropriate shop or take the bike for maintenance at a shop of your choice whenever necessary.
All the bikes are insured. The insurance covers fire, breakage, vandalism and theft. The insurance is valid in Finland.
When the bike is not used, it must always be locked to a fixed, immovable structure or object by its frame.
If your bike gets stolen, report it immediately to the police.
Report all thefts and accidents to the bike to fleetbike@fleet.fi also immediately.
Write us:
1. What happened
2. Where and when the incident took place
