Reductions and free travel
Do you need proof of payment or an invoice for the purchase of your tickets?
- Tax certificate or traveller certificate
If you travel with a season ticket or Flex Season Ticket, you can request a passenger certificate for each year via your My SNCB accout. You can make a request for the last 5 years. This certificate will be sent to you by email and can be used for tax purposes.
For more information, please visit www.finances.belgium.be or contact your local tax office.
- If you are an employer with a Business contract
Via our Business Portal, you can find all the administrative documents related to your contracts and ticket orders. For more information, contact the Business Centre by telephone from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on 02 607 20 00 or via the contact form.
- Proof of purchase / proof of payment
When you buy a train ticket online on the website or via the SNCB app, you will automatically receive a purchase confirmation email showing the amounts of your tickets. This email is officially valid and can be used as proof of payment.
By purchasing a Discovery Ticket, you are already benefiting from an advantageous reduction in the price of your return train journey. Social security vouchers or discount vouchers are not accepted as a means of payment for a Discovery Ticket.
Find out more about the SNCB’s Discovery Ticket deals and enjoy an unforgettable trip at a reduced cost.If your employer (or another third party) has signed an agreement with the SNCB to (partially) cover the cost of its employees’ season tickets, you must prove it at the ticket counter by providing a third-party payment certificate. Your employer can provide you with a copy of this certificate. It confirms that your employer pays (part of) your season ticket.
Depending on the contract between the employer and the SNCB, the employees’ children’s Student Season Tickets may also be (partially) paid by the employer. In this case, the same third-party payment certificate is required when applying for (and extending) the Student Season Ticket.
In practice:
- Your employer has signed a third-party payment agreement: You don’t pay anything or you only pay part of the cost of your season ticket, based on the employer contribution certificate. Your employer covers all or the remaining part of your costs.
- Your employer has not signed a third-party payment agreement: You pay the full cost of your season ticket. The amount of the mandatory employer contribution is refunded to you by your employer.
After 26 years of age, you can no longer benefit from the reduced student tariff. If you are or will turn 26 years of age during the validity period of your season ticket, your Student Season Ticket cannot be loaded onto your MoBIB card for this reason.
However, depending on the distance travelled and the frequency of your journeys, there are other advantageous tariffs that might appeal to you.
