The tax authorities are not allowed to determine what\u2019s necessary for your business and what\u2019s not. So if you as an entrepreneur think it\u2019s necessary to make these expenses and you can substantiate them from a business perspective, then you are allowed to specify these expenses as business expenses.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"text-block block columns-1\">\n    <div id=\"\" class=\"deeplink-anchor\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-1 col-lg-10 offset-xl-2 col-xl-8\">\n                <div class=\"text-block__text-wrapper rich-text d-block\">\n                    <li>Suppose you have dinner in a fancy gourmet restaurant and you order every champagne on the menu?

If you\u2019re writing travel or foodblogs, yes. Business.<\/li>\n<li>Getting a quick dinner at a McDrive, business expenses? If you\u2019re on your way to a business meeting, then yes.

So those receipts will not be of any use for your quarterly VAT declaration. Still you need to enter the receipts in your administration. Because they CAN be used for your income tax declaration at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<h3> <strong>Don\u2019t forget to leave a tip<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<p>Not just the food and drinks can be submitted as expenses, the tip you leave can be submitted as well. So make sure you pay your tips with your bank card and keep your receipts. This way you can demonstrate you made these expenses.<\/p>\n<h3> <strong>Fully deductible?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<p>Because everyone needs to eat and drink, these costs aren\u2019t fully deductible. The tax authorities have two options for you to compensate for the private part of the expenses.<\/p>\n<p>1.\tThe first \u20ac 5.600 is not deductible. Everything above this figure is fully deductible.<br \/>\n2.\tThe costs are deductible for 80% (73.5% in VPB, vennootschapsbelasting, corporate tax). Which means you have to add 20% of the expenses for consumer goods to your income. <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deducting a business dinner from your profit.
