Company car as an expense – is it allowed?
For freelancers who invoice through WorkNode without their own company.
No, WorkNode cannot pay mileage allowance or other costs for a company car.

Why?
A company car is a car from an employer that you may also drive privately. The private use is taxed as a benefit, which requires the employer to keep track of benefit values and fuel. WorkNode cannot do that for a car you have through someone else.
Do this instead
Drive your own car and receive mileage allowance, or rent a car for the assignment.
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.
