I work partly from home and partly on location. This means that I want to enter part of my energy bill (electricity) as an expense. However, it is not clear whether I should use my monthly bills as a basis. These are only an estimate for the final yearly calculation.
Or should I only enter my electricity costs once a year, when my actual costs have been calculated?
You should use the monthly invoices as a basis and estimate your professional usage from these.I read elsewhere in the learning environment that you can indeed use the monthly invoices as a basis. If you then have to pay extra or withdraw money at the end of the year, you can enter this as an additional invoice or a credit note (negative invoice) respectively.
Is it also legally okay to enter the cost once a year, based on the final statement?
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
