What qualifies as a company expense in Portugal?
If I pay a company expense with another account that doesn't belong to the company, how should I proceed?
You should transfer the equivalent amount from your Rauva business account to the account from which the expense was paid, then attach a supporting document that justifies the transaction. Ensure this document includes your company’s NIF for proper accounting.
Can I put my house rent as a company expense?
Yes, house rent can be considered a company expense and paid by the company as long as the house address is the company's headquarters and the contract is in the company's name.
Can I use my personal car for work at the company? How can I charge companies for these costs? How does it work?
Yes, you can. Simply fill out a mileage log listing each business trip taken with your personal vehicle (including the date, destinations, and distance in kilometers). The company can then reimburse you the corresponding amount—this is usually done monthly. Reimbursements up to €0.40 per km are exempt from income and social security taxes. No additional proof is needed beyond the completed mileage log.
