You can now decide whether an expense type should be tax free, taxable, or a combination of the two. This makes it possible to follow local rules where only part of an amount can be reimbursed tax free – for example overtime meals in Norway, where the amount is tax free up to a given limit and anything above that is taxable.

**How it works**

Expense types now have a Taxation tab where you choose how the amount should be treated:

- Fully tax free (default): the whole amount is tax free.
- Fully taxable: the whole amount is taxable.
- Partially tax free: you enter a tax free amount, and anything above it is taxable.

When you select Fully taxable or Partially tax free, a Paycode and accounts section for taxable values appears on the Payroll-Bookkeeping tab. Here you decide how the taxable part should be posted, so it is kept separate from the tax free part and handled correctly in payroll and accounting.

**This is what you see when you register an expense**

When you register an expense on a taxable expense type, the taxable amount is shown in the taxable section of the expense claim, and in the claim report. You don't need to do anything extra.
