Company car is also usually referred to as company car/company car/service car. One company car/company car is owned or leased by a company and may only be used in the service. Some examples could be travel to and from customers, deliver products, visit industry-related events such as fairs and events. In professions as a plumber, electrician and salesperson is service car common. The company owns the car and it must not be used privately.
A company car/service car may be used privately maximum 10 times or 100 miles per driver during a year. If private use exceeds this limit it is a car benefit and shall taxed by the driver. This is the main one the reason why an electronic driving record has to exist.
It is your responsibility to be able to prove how the company car was used – which trips are private and which are for work. In the event of an audit, there will be penalty tax and retroactive benefit taxation if correct documentation is missing.
The Swedish Tax Agency puts it this way: “We recommend that a driving record must contain:
• Meter reading at the beginning of the year
• Meter reading at the end of the year.
In addition to that, the driving record should also have the following tasks:
• The car’s registration number
• Current year
• Date and meter reading at the start and end of the journey
• How many kilometers the employee drives each trip
• Which address the journey started from and ended on
• Purpose/purpose of the trip
• Which places, companies or contact persons it employees have visited (not needed for private trips)
• Notes on car drivers and refueling and more.”
NorthTracker’s electronic driving record follows your car via a GPS tracker/track transmitter where you can see, via app or computer, exactly where the car is. It helps the police to recover your car more quickly in case of theft. The GPS tracker is placed and installed under the steering wheel like this that you get full control of your vehicle.
With NorthTracker’s theft protection, you can sleep peacefully again the night. If the accident is imminent, your phone will ring an alarm via SMS, push notification or email that notifies that the car drove outside a safety zone.
If you have a business, you can also add Alkolås as additional service where you can guarantee sober drivers within your organization. This leads to better and more procurements.
