Documentation

The third wage type has a different meaning for Germany or for Spain:

Usage in Germany: Wage type for lump-sum taxation

The wage type contains the part of the per diem for meals, that is to be taxed according to §40(2), 1 EStG (German Income Tax Law).

Procedure

Please enter the wage type that is to be used for lump-sum taxation.

Usage in Spain: Wage type for imputed income

Meals and accommodations receipts can only be reimbursed tax-free up to a certain maximum amount according to Spanish law. If the amounts reimbursed by the employer exceed this maximum rate, the difference must be taxed as wages paid to the employee.

If the maximum rate is, however, exceeded by meals or accommodations receipts paid by the employer, imputed income for the employee results which must also be taxed as taxable wages although payment to the employee did not take place (the basis for taxation is raised).

Procedure

Please enter the wage type that is to be used for taxation of imputed income.

Examples

The maximum rate for meals and accommodations receipts for an international trip that lasts more than one day is currently 61.000 PTS. A hotel bill including meals is paid by the company costing 70.000 PTS. The employee therefore has to be taxed for imputed income amounting to 9.000 PTS.

If there are taxable parts of the additional per diem, they are assigned to the corresponding wage type for additional amounts.

The additional per diem is customized in the system for a specific trip type as a meals per diem. For these statutory trip types, you have to set the attribute 'Business trip with receipts' in the IMG activity Specify attributes for statutory trip types
