Food and entertainment

Client entertainment as an expense – is it allowed?

For freelancers who invoice through WorkNode without their own company.

It depends

It depends. Ask support before you treat a client.

Why?

Entertainment has its own tax rules and deduction limits.

Good to know

  • Note who attended and the purpose.

What you need to show

A receipt showing attendees and purpose.

How it works through WorkNode

The expense is booked by WorkNode as your employer. If the cost is private, it counts as a benefit, and you would then pay tax and we would pay employer contributions on it. That is why we only approve costs that belong to the assignment.
