You do not pay benefit of kind (voordeel alle aard) for your lease bike when you use it regularly for commuting from home to work.

What are the fiscal advantages for a self-employed of leasing in comparison to buying?

The monthly leasing costs are business costs. This will have as a result that there is a tax advantage because a lowering of the profit. The advantages of leasing a bicycle are mainly because of the low amount spread over a period of time. The average price of a bicycle is around €3000,-. By leasing a bicycle you do not have to pay this amount at once and the costs include maintenance and repair and insurance.
