Rental car as an expense – is it allowed?
For freelancers who invoice through WorkNode without their own company.
Approved
Yes, a car you rent to carry out a specific assignment can be added as an expense.
Why?
The rental only covers the assignment and the car is not yours afterwards, so there is no lasting value.
Good to know
- The rental must be for a specific assignment and its dates.
- Leasing and long-term rental are not approved.
What you need to show
A receipt or rental agreement showing the rental 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.
