Suppose I paid a €100 energy bill privately. Can I then submit the invoice to my company for 20% and transfer €20 back to my private account? OR do I pay the bill with my business account and then transfer €80 from my private account to the business account? Thank you in advance.
I think both are possible. If you first paid the invoice with your private account and then submitted that invoice, the tax authorities can and may also request statements for that year from that account. If you paid with your business account, that remains the only account that the tax authorities can check at all.
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
