Introduction
Additional assessment and penalty for improper trip registration – it’s one of those topics you’d rather not think about… Until you suddenly find one of those blue envelopes in your mailbox. You drive for business diligently, occasionally noting something down in a notebook or Excel, but on Monday morning, you have better things to do than to look up exactly where you drove last week. Sound familiar? For many self-employed entrepreneurs, trip registration is more of a ‘chore’ than a serious priority. Until you receive the bill afterwards – and it can be substantial.
What Often Goes Wrong?
To be honest, almost no one keeps their trip log perfectly. We rely on our memory (“That fuel stop must have been for business, right?” or “I can probably add this trip later”). However, the Tax Authorities have a different view. If your trip registration is not conclusive, it can lead to an additional assessment and a penalty. Especially if you use a ‘declaration of no private use of a car’, you must record the start and end point, time, mileage, and purpose of every trip. Consistently forgetting to do so will incur costs.
