Law amendments are planned aiming to reduce the taxes of the entrepreneurs that have to transport their workforce from further areas or cover their accommodation expenses.
The business-related expenses of an employer will no longer be considered fringe benefits if following conditions are met:

1. The worker’s residence is at least 50 km away from the workplace and the worker does not own property closer to the workplace;
   
2. The expenses per worker are up to 200 euros/month if accommodating in Tallinn or Tartu; up to 100 euros elsewhere.
   

If the amendments are passed in Estonian Parliament, the employer can in the future compensate the accommodation expenses of workers tax free.
