Digital logbooks are a must for any employee who records business mileage. However, there are a number of tax rules to be aware of when doing so. Here we guide you through the most important rules and explain how you can use a system like Intempus to register your mileage easily and clearly.
Reporting mileage for tax purposes
First and foremost, SKAT does not have an approval process, but instead bases their mileage allowance on trust. In order to receive transport allowance, you report your journeys between home and your workplace to SKAT. If SKAT asks for it, you must be able to document it with a logbook or similar, and SKAT has some requirements for what you must be able to provide.
Tax rules for vehicle registration
For tax-free mileage allowance, the employer must be able to document the following driving data:
- Purpose
- The destination including any milestones on the way to the final destination
- The date
- The length
- Calculation by rates
- That the driving is in the employee's own vehicle
If you fulfil the above in your journey registration, it will usually be sufficient.
