(2025): What is included in additional travel expenses?

Deductible travel expenses also include other smaller and larger expenses incurred during off-site work. These expenses can be deducted in the proven amount. If proof is not possible, you can also provide credible evidence of the expenses and estimate the amount.

Examples of additional travel expenses include:

  • Transport costs at the destination, e.g. for taxi, rental car, tram, underground or suburban train,
  • Motorway tolls (e.g. in France),
  • Ferry costs (car ferry Meersburg-Konstanz),
  • Parking fees,
  • Expenses for telephone calls and business correspondence with the employer or business partners,
  • Expenses due to a traffic accident,
  • Entrance fees for business events,
Self-issued receipts can help!

For some additional costs, you may not have any receipts or may not have kept them (e.g. for tips, luggage storage, business phone calls, loss, theft).

In this case, a self-issued receipt can help to provide credible evidence: Note down the type and amount of the expenses, the place and date on a sheet of paper and confirm the details with your signature.
