skjermbildeFrom 2017 all reimbursements to employees will be sent through the HR portal, not just travels. For refunds other than traveling one should use the form “Reimbursement of expenses” and that will give you three alternative types of expenses:

•Compensation for expenses

• Reimbursement of equity services (eksample: internet, tel.)

• Reimbursement of taxable private expenditure (eksample:membership fees and private Subscription)

Receipts will be scanned by the person filling out the form and no longer need to send original receipts in paper form. Expenses are posted by economists as notes on the comments of funds it shall be charged to avoid delays.
