OPUS+ ENTERPRISE
INFORMATION FOR
EMPLOYERS
Does an employer need to make an additional financial contribution to the program in order to participate?
- No. However, the AMT encourages employers to supplement the monthly discount offered by the AMT and its partners. The provincial government offers certain tax deductions.
- If employers choose to contribute to the program financially, they may adjust the amount of their contribution at any time within the established dates.
What kind of discount will employees receive?
- The AMT and its partners automatically offer a monthly 8.33% discount.
- This discount is applied monthly to the fare of the selected transit pass.
- The employer may supplement this discount and modify it at any time.
Are employers and employees eligible for tax credits or deductions?
- Yes.
- Employers that provide a mass transit pass to their employees or who reimburse the cost of the pass are entitled to deduct 100% of the expense from their business income, according to Revenu Québec regulations.
- Employees are eligible for a tax credit from Revenue Canada. When an employer supplements the AMT discount, the amount absorbed by the employer is not taxable by Revenu Québec.
