Travel Expense Report

What is a travel expense report? Definition and meaning

The travel expense report brings together the costs (travel expenses) incurred in connection with a business or professional trip.

These costs are determined partly on the basis of legally regulated flat rates (e.g. transportation costs, additional meal expenses and accommodation costs) or directly on the basis of the receipts. For transportation costs, a mixed form is also possible.

The aim of this report is to determine all the costs incurred on a trip. This serves, among other things, to reimburse the employee for the expenses for which they have paid in advance. The projectfacts software offers an online solution for the digital travel expense report.
