Transport Bonus: who is entitled to and how to request it

The maximum contribution is 60 euros. Here are the criteria for obtaining it

From 1 September it is possible to request the Transport Bonus, the incentive introduced by the Government with the Aid decree and extended by the Aid bis decree. All citizens will be able to use it to purchase monthly or annual passes for local, regional, interregional public transport and for national rail transport services (including high-speed trains) also of the FS Group.

The maximum contribution of the voucher is 60 euros and to obtain it it is necessary to apply by 31 December 2022 and until funds are exhausted on the website www.bonustrasporti.lavoro.gov.it of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies. Here, by accessing via Spid or Cie, the necessary self-certification must be provided and the expected expenditure to be incurred and the manager of the public transport service must be indicated. As far as rail services are concerned, the voucher is valid for the second class only or for the Standard service level (first class / Business passes are therefore excluded).

But who is entitled to the bonus? The voucher will be obtained by all the people who in the course of 2021 have achieved a total gross income not exceeding 35 thousand euros. The voucher issued by the Portal is marked with a unique identification code, the tax code of the beneficiary, the amount and the date of issue and expiry of the use which is within one month of issue. The voucher obtained must then be presented at the Trenitalia ticket offices by the holder or by a specifically delegated person during the purchase phase.

The bonus can be requested by each member of the family, it cannot be transferred as it is nominative and can be used for the purchase of a single subscription, which must take place in the same month as the bonus is issued; however, the subscription to be purchased with the bonus may also be valid for a subsequent period.

If you do not fall into the categories to which the bonus is entitled, please note that the purchase of season tickets for means of transport is in any case deductible from the tax return at 19% even for dependent family members, with a maximum limit of 250 euros per year .
