How do I enter invoiced mileage allowance as an expense?

Question

I had to travel for an event and drove 101 kilometres at 0.428 euro/km. I charged this as a mileage allowance totaling 43.23 euros on the invoice to my customer. I did not keep a fuel receipt for this trip. How do I enter this in Dexxter? Since a purchase invoice is always requested when entering expenses. If I don’t enter this, the tax authorities will consider it as turnover, and that can’t be the intention. Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, travel expenses are indeed turnover. You can, in other words, ask for whatever you want here, as long as your customer agrees. I think you are a bit confused with the mileage allowance. That is a completely other principle for entering your car expenses. I think Dexxter has an article about this. It's worth searching for it in the learning center. I also had my doubts about this, but I feel that my actual costs are higher than the mileage allowance.

If you want to record your fuel purchases, you will need a receipt, otherwise you will have to exclude it from your accounts this time.
