What must be on a taxi receipt and how taxi journeys are reimbursed in the travel expense report. A taxi receipt (Taxiquittung) is the proof of a taxi journey. Work-related taxi journeys are travel costs and can be reimbursed in the actual amount or deducted as a business expense. Taxi receipts up to €250 gross count as small-amount invoices. They must contain: It is also useful to note the start, destination and time of the journey so that the business reason is traceable. In Germany, the reduced rate of 7% applies to taxi journeys within a municipality or up to a distance of 50 kilometres. For longer journeys, 19% applies, as it does for hire cars with driver and ride services. The correct tax rate is important for input tax deduction. If the receipt is missing, a self-issued receipt can replace the proof. However, a self-issued receipt is not sufficient for input tax deduction. Photograph the taxi receipt directly after the journey with the Spesenfuchs app. The AI reads date, amount and VAT, and the journey appears with the correct tax rate in your report.
