Expenses - Do you know how to claim expense reimbursements?
Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 10 months ago.See historyYou should be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in carrying out your duties, which are above your normal costs, to and from the office.
A common example is bus and train fares to client sites. In Australia, amounts under $100 could be reimbursed through Petty Cash but in China, it would be around ¥ 300.
Remember to treat your company's money like your own and minimize costs where possible. Try to search around for a better price before committing to a purchase.
All expense claims must:
- Be work-related
- Be made within a week
- Be signed by the claimant and authorized by the relevant Manager
- Be supported by Tax Invoices
- Not include alcohol, as it incurs FBT
- Receipts should be in English (where possible), or you must write on the receipt what the expense is, and what it was for
Tip: If necessary, you can use the Google Translate app to translate your receipts by taking a photo!
