Payroll & employer services

Daily allowances and mileage

We check travel claims and calculate daily allowances and mileage using the maximum amounts confirmed by the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto). The allowances can be paid tax-free when the conditions are met.

Daily allowances and mileage

What does the service mean?

When an employee or a shareholder of a limited company (osakeyhtiö, Oy) makes a business trip, the employer can reimburse their travel expenses: a daily allowance, a meal allowance and a mileage allowance for using their own car.

The allowances are tax-free when they are paid within the maximum amounts and on the conditions set in the Finnish Tax Administration's (Verohallinto) annual decision. It must be possible to show that the conditions are met with a travel expense claim showing, for example, the time, route and purpose of the trip.

Who is the service for? For businesses whose employees or shareholders travel for work.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can a sole trader pay themselves daily allowances?

A sole trader (toiminimi) can deduct their travel expenses in taxation, but the treatment differs from an employee's allowances. We will explain how to do it correctly.

What if there is no driving log?

Without supporting records, the allowances may be treated as taxable salary. We will help you put a workable method in place.
