Question

Can I enter a restaurant receipt as an expense if it also states here that it is a ‘non-valid vAT ticket’?

If yes, how do I process this vAT in practice within Dexxter?

Thank you for your question, Timothy!

You can certainly enter a restaurant visit based on a receipt that states "not a valid vAT receipt".

Because when you talk about "proof" of expenses for your accounts, you actually just need a document to show what you bought and the amount of the purchase. Regardless of the "form" in which you provide this proof, it can be a ticket (which does not state "no valid vAT ticket"), a receipt, an invoice, etc. As long as it states what you purchased for professional purposes and how much it cost, the same reasoning applies to your restaurant visit.

Tip 1: Professional restaurant costs are 69% deductible as professional expenses. In other words, the tax authorities always assume that 31% was for private use. Even if you went out to dinner with your biggest customer and talked business non-stop, you can still only claim 69% professional use from that restaurant visit. No worries, we have set that 69% professional use limit as the standard in Dexxter for the restaurant costs cost category, so you can't go wrong.

Tip 2: When you enter an expense in Dexxter, you can add a non-binding note in the last step. For a restaurant receipt, for example, you could note the name and professional reason from your restaurant visit. That way, if you ever have a tax audit, you won't have to search for it afterwards if an auditor asks the question.
