Employers can reimburse employees for using personal vehicles for business travel, commuting, or company-owned cars.
While Japan does not enforce a statutory mileage rate, companies should ensure fair and transparent reimbursements.
Reimbursement methods include:
- A fixed rate per kilometre;
- Actual fuel and maintenance cost reimbursements.
For more information on the taxability of these reimbursements, visit the National Tax Agency.
