NS-Business Card
You can apply for an NS-Business Card for commuting if you use public transport or an OV bicycle and the distance between your home address and your place of work is 5 kilometres or more. If the distance is less than 5 kilometres, you can apply for an NS-Business Card for official travel.
AUAS will reimburse the costs of 2nd-class, surcharge-free commuting and official travel, including supplements (for example, for an international train). The NS-Business Card is valid on the train, bus and underground, and you can use it to rent an OV bicycle. You can apply for an NS-Business Card in DSPE. Please go to Self-service > NS-Business Card. You cannot combine this with other forms of reimbursement, such as an AUAS bicycle or mileage reimbursement. However, you can still make use of the bicycle tax-break scheme, which you can use to buy a bike with tax advantages. You are not entitled to deduct your travel expenses when filing your income tax if you use the NS-Businesscard,
If you make a business trip with the NS-Business Card, you can report this afterwards in your account under 'travel history'. If you have made a private journey (by mistake), you can also report this there. These costs will be deducted from your salary.
For more information, see the instructions below.

Your card will be blocked immediately and a new one will be requested on your behalf. The duplicate will be delivered at your home address within 7 working days. Until your new NS Business Card has been sent to your home address by the NS, you can claim travel expenses for commuting for up to 7 days via DSPE. See Expenpense claims and Advance payments for the Expense Reimbursement Scheme.
