SKAT requirements for mileage logs and how to meet them with Meta Trak

When you receive tax-free mileage reimbursement or use a company car for work, SKAT sets clear documentation requirements. A correct mileage log is your best protection to ensure correct payouts and avoid issues during audits.

What does SKAT require from your mileage log?

According to SKAT, your mileage log must document each trip so authorities can determine whether the trip is business or private.

This means your mileage log should include the following details for each trip:

• Date of travel
• Start and end address
• Purpose of the trip (for example customer visit, meeting, or delivery)
• Distance driven
• Vehicle registration number
• Any intermediate stops if you complete several tasks in one trip

All information must be accurate and recorded continuously, not reconstructed later in bulk. If documentation is incomplete, SKAT may reject your reimbursement or classify trips as private and taxable.

Digital mileage log vs. manual mileage log

You can still keep a manual mileage log (for example in Excel or on paper), but it is both time-consuming and vulnerable to errors.

A digital mileage log like Meta Trak automatically records all trips via GPS and stores documentation securely in the cloud. This gives you precise records that meet SKAT requirements without manual admin work.
