What is kørselsgodtgørelse (mileage allowance)?

In short

Kørselsgodtgørelse is a tax-free allowance for business driving in your own car — in 2026 up to DKK 3.94 per km, and DKK 2.28 beyond 20,000 km a year.

In practice

It can be paid to employees — and to company owners driving their private car for the business. It requires a mileage log with date, destination and purpose. Sole proprietors can instead deduct the driving at the same rates.
