Reimbursement of travel expenses by car
If you or your spouse drive more than 50% of your car for business purposes, you can deduct the cost of the car in the same proportion.
Example:
The reimbursement of travel expenses depends on how much work-related travel you do. If you drive your own car or your spouse's car for more than 50% of your commuting, you can deduct the cost of the car proportionally. For example, if you drive 70% of your business trips and 30% of your personal trips during the year, you can deduct 70% of your car-related costs, such as fuel and maintenance.
If you drive your own car or your spouse's car for less than 50% of your business trips, you can get a tax benefit in the form of mileage reimbursement. The kilometres driven for work purposes must be documented in a logbook.
Logbook
The role of the logbook is very important in order to take advantage of deductions in your accounting. Travel expenses can be deducted if you have completed the logbook correctly. The Driversnote logbook, for example, also follows the tax administration's guidelines, which at the same time distinguish between business and private journeys.
