Mileage allowance

I think you can EITHER enter your transport costs (mileage allowance) OR your fuel receipts. But not both!

That's what I thought. Mileage allowance seems the most logical option in my case.

Does anyone know how much you can charge per kilometre?

Hello, I think a receipt is okay to submit to the accounts department if you calculate how much it cost you yourself. So, for example: you consume 7 litres per 100 kilometres, your journey is 200 kilometres, so you have consumed 14 litres for your occasional performance. According to the receipt, you have refuelled to €1.85 per litre, so you can enter a cost of 1.85 x 14 = €25.9 in your accounts with the receipt as proof. Of course, your receipt will state more than you have entered, but this is not normally a problem, as it merely serves as proof of your expense. Incidentally, you cannot claim back vAT because such a receipt is not an official invoice.

I'm not an accountant, but this is how I would do it :)

I used to give all my fuel receipts to my accountant (all of them, professional, private, etc.). He would enter them all, but then limit them to 25% for professional use. So 25% of all those costs ended up in my accounts.

I never had it checked, so I don't know the verdict from the tax authorities... but that's how they did it there.

But same as CN, I'm not an accountant :-)

I enter the actual kilometres for my business at the official mileage allowance, which can be found online (updated yearly on 1/7).
