Commute to Dublin or Waterford with Wexford Bus & Save up to 52%

Employers can purchase monthly, quarterly or annual Tax Saver Tickets for employees commuting to work between Dublin and Wexford (Route 740), Dublin and Wicklow (Route 740A) or between Wexford and Waterford (Route 340). Employers purchase Wexford Bus Tax Saver Tickets on your behalf, the cost of the ticket is then deducted from your gross salary so you don’t pay any tax, PRSI, universal social charge or benefit in kind on this amount.

The savings to you will be up to 52% on the price of the ticket. This tax saving scheme is run in conjunction with the Revenue Commissioners to encourage employees to use public transport. Employees aren’t the only ones to benefit from this scheme, as employers make PRSI savings of up to 10.75% of the total ticket cost.

Why Commute with Wexford Bus?

You can make massive savings in comparison to driving – according to AA, the estimated cost of fuel only for driving between Gorey and Dublin is €115.20 per week based on fuel costs of 140 cent per litre. In comparison, an annual Tax Saver Ticket will cost only €29.77 net* per week. (An assumption has been made that this return journey is made 5 days per week and the passenger is on the higher tax rate.)
