Frequently asked questions
How much is mileage allowance for 10,000 km? +
10,000 km × €0.55/km = €5,500 per year. Each additional passenger adds €400 (€0.04 × 10,000 km). For example, with one extra passenger, the allowance is €5,900.
How do I keep a mileage log? +
Record for each business trip: date, origin and destination, distance (km), purpose of the trip, and passengers. The Tax Administration may request the log for audit. Keep it up to date — retrospective estimates are not accepted.
Can I claim mileage allowance with a company car? +
No. Mileage allowance applies only to your own car. For business trips with a company car, the employer covers fuel costs, but no mileage allowance is paid.
What other travel expenses can I deduct? +
For commuting (home–workplace), you can deduct expenses based on the cheapest mode of transport, above the €900 excess, capped at €7,000/yr. You can also claim daily allowances (domestic full-day €54/day, partial-day €25/day in 2026) and meal compensation of €13.50.
Tip: combine wisely
If you drive a lot for business, mileage allowance is your best option — it is tax-free with no excess. Keep a mileage log and claim it either from your employer or directly on your tax return. We can help you determine the right approach.
