Updated this week

What does it mean? 🤔

Do you have a company car and a fuel/charging card? Then this benefit can be very interesting for you! 🙌

If you’re planning a road trip soon, you can have your international fuel or charging costs fully reimbursed.


How does it work? 🔄

Have you refueled or charged your company car abroad and want to recover those costs?

Step by step to reimbursement of your international fuel and charging costs:

  1. Select 'Reimbursement of international fuel and charging costs' under “Mobility” in your Payflip tool.

  2. Upload your proof: Upload your proof of these costs (receipt, (fuel) app screenshot, etc.)

  3. Enter the exact amount of your international fuel or charging costs

  4. Add your choice to your shopping cart and confirm

  5. Your employer approves the request

  6. You’ll receive the amount with your next salary

⚠️ Your proof must include the following elements: the full date, the location of the refueling/charging, and the exact amount including VAT


Financials 💰

You pay no social security contributions or withholding tax on the reimbursement, which makes it much more advantageous than a cash payment.

Example

Let’s say you paid €400 in international charging costs.

  • If you opt for a cash payout, you’ll end up with about €150 net after all deductions.

  • If you choose reimbursement of your international charging costs, you pay no social security or withholding tax and receive the full amount of €400 net.

💸 In this example, you gain a significant financial advantage of €250.
