Handle the 60-day rule automatically
Get to grips with the 60-day rule
Want to avoid missing out on tax-free mileage allowance? Then you should familiarise yourself with the 60-day rule. It sets the framework for how driving allowances can be paid out.
What is the 60-day rule?
The purpose of the 60-day rule is to allow you to receive tax-free mileage allowance if you use your own car for work.
For a period of 12 months, you can receive tax-free mileage allowance for driving between your home and workplace for the first 60 working days. This rule is particularly relevant if you have changing workplaces. If you work 60 consecutive days at a different workplace than the first, the count will be reset for the first workplace and you can receive the 60 days tax-free allowance again. However, if you have completed 60 days at the same workplace, you can no longer receive tax-free mileage allowance.
In other words, the 60-day rule's summation is only reset when driving to other workplaces for 60 days or more. This means travelling to projects or driving from home to the company address. Absences, weekends, public holidays and home working days do not cause the rule to reset itself. The rule applies to a 12-month period, which means that driving more than 12 months in the past is not counted.
Comply The 60-day rule with Intempus
Managing the 60-day rule for all your employees can quickly cost you a lot of administrative hours. With Intempus’ digital time tracking system, however, you can avoid the manual work as the system can handle the 60-day rule completely automatically.
This means that when the rule is set up for your employees, the days are automatically registered when the employees register their work. Once the first 60 days have been used, the mileage allowance automatically becomes taxable until the employee starts driving to a new workplace.
