BRKG
Abbreviation for Bundesreisekostengesetz
In short and in plain language
The BRKG is the German law on travel costs in federal jobs.
It sets the rules on travel costs for staff of the federal state. This includes fixed rates for trips in your own car.
Its rates are also used as a guide in other places. One example is the travel costs of volunteers in care and hospice work.
Definition
The BRKG is the German Federal Travel Expenses Act. It governs travel expenses in the federal public service, for example flat rates for trips in a private car. Its rates also serve as a benchmark elsewhere, for example for volunteers' travel costs in hospice and care services.
