Rates
The car allowance calculation is always based on the rates provided by the government.
e.g. In the year 2021, the tax fee kilometer rate for cars (including electric cars) equals to NOK 3.50 per km. The max allowance rate is NOK 4.03 per kilometer. The difference between the two rates of NOK 0.53 is taxable, meaning that you're paid per kilometer.
All the rates are usually defined in the Organization Properties. The rates can be set on the following levels:
...
Once the rates are in place we need to create a payment transaction under the Payroll > Entry Codes.We will check how to create the regular Car kilometers Compensation. However, the rules may be different according type of travel. e.g. Car kilometers Travel home (taxable/ tax free).
Here what needs to be done:
Under the General tab fill in the entry Name and set it to Allowance.
Under the Input tab setup the following fields.
Under the calculation tab define the necessary accounts and accounting dimensions.
Then create a separate script for the Car Allowance calculation.
This is the example of the script that you can create. Click here to learn more about the scripts.Code Block language none //Setting Employer Here you need to add a line for calculating the employer organization e.g. @@ADD:007. You can check your other other entries for //Rate L23=GB19 //Amount L61=L22*L23 L21=L61 L67=L21 //Calculation of taxable amount (Fordeling av skattepliktig beløp) //GB20 = Global rate line 20 for car allowance non taxable rate //GB19 = Global rate line 19 for Sats 10 000 km max allowance rate //(GB19-GB20) - taxable part IF GB19 > GB20 THEN L70=(GB19-GB20) * L22 L69=L67-L70 ELSE L70=0 L69=L67 ENDIF W81=W81+L70 //Taxable (Skattepliktig) L62=L70*P50c //Employers fee
Setup the fields to be available on the Payslip.
Set the following EDAG coding.

The only difference is in the script and EDAg EDAG coding.

Code Block //Setting Employer Here you need to add a line for calculating the employer organization e.g. @@ADD:007. You can check your other other entries for //GB20 = Global rate line 20 for car allowance non taxable rate L23=GB20 L61=L22*L23
The EDAG coding should be like that:
