Equipment
Equipment rental as an expense – is it allowed?
For freelancers who invoice through WorkNode without their own company.
Approved
Yes, equipment you rent for the assignment can be added as an expense.
Why?
When you rent, you do not own the equipment afterwards, so there is no lasting value.
Good to know
- The rental period must match the assignment.
What you need to show
A receipt or rental agreement showing the period and amount.
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.
