Why should a light entrepreneur keep a mileage log?

A mileage log is a light entrepreneur's record of work-related driving and trips, documenting when and where you drove, as well as the distance travelled. You need it if you want to claim tax-free mileage allowances, per diems for work trips, or meal allowances (in certain industries). As a light entrepreneur, you can claim these allowances as part of your invoicing, as long as the trips have been logged in the mileage log and the allowances have been agreed with the client in advance. ‍

The template works in programs such as Excel or Google Sheets, and can also be conveniently filled in on your phone. Please note that you should always add the exact address details for every stop in the mileage log: street name, street number, city, and postal code.
