Examples of reimbursable expenses
Supplies, materials, and travel related to the invoiced work should always be purchased as separate purchases, so that the receipt can be assigned to the invoice. We always check all your receipts as one unit. One receipt cannot be divided into applying to several different invoices.
A receipt cannot be used as a basis for deduction if it contains a single product which the Tax Administration does not accept as deductible. For example, tobacco products and alcohol on a receipt always result in the entire receipt being rejected.
See examples of reimbursable expenses below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Example 1: Receipt includes products that are directly related to the work / not related to the work
Nails Screws Angle bracket Sandpaper | Nails Cordless drill Screws Ice cream |
In construction work, these are expenses directly related to the work | The receipt cannot be used because the receipt contains products that are not directly related to the work: the cordless drill is a tool for long-term use and ice cream is not a work-related expense. |
Example 2: Expense reimbursement depends on the occupation
Copying paper Printer ink Pencils | Copying paper Printer ink Pencils |
Property manager’s receipt: In the work of a property manager, these are expenses directly related to the work. | Equine massage therapist: These expenses are not directly related to the massage work, but are related to, for example, marketing and administration. |
Example 3: Prohibited products on the same receipt with work-related supplies
Detergent Rags Paper towel | Detergent Rags Pack of cigarettes |
In the work of a cleaner, these are expenses directly related to the work. | Tobacco or alcohol products must not be on the receipt. |
Example 4: Receipt for rental space or equipment
Jan 1st, 2020 8am–4pm Jan 4th, 2020 9am–2pm Jan 5th, 2020 7am–4pm | Rent Jan 1st–31st, 2020 |
The receipt specifies the days and times of the rented space or equipment. An itemized receipt can be used to verify that the rent is directly related to the work done. Note! The receipt is compared to the work you invoiced, timeline, and your occupation. | Long-term rental space or equipment can also be used for work other than the one you are invoicing for and therefore cannot be reimbursed through us. However, you can always report such an expense in your personal taxation as an income deduction. |
