train tickets paid back

I would definitely include that in your expenses. Otherwise, it will indeed be considered profit and you will be taxed extra. My colleague advised me not to do this, as I am advancing the train tickets and this is purely a refund, so I do not have to include it as income and the train tickets as an expense; this is also not allowed, as they already include the train tickets as an expense...

Hello,

It is indeed correct that you must always record your expenses under expenses and your income under income. The fact is that you make purchases of train tickets and these are expenses for you, even if your customer (in this case the architectural firm) pays back the tickets to you by means of a travel allowance. And the amount you received on from the customer is always income (even if it is compensation for expenses you have incurred yourself). This must therefore all be clearly stated. An auditor who sees these amounts appear in your account every month and cannot find them in your accounts under what this income has been recorded as could otherwise come to the wrong conclusion.

If it is still not entirely clear, please contact our Support team. You can forward them the invoices and explain your situation specifically so that they can provide you with more tailored assistance.
