Accommodation Expenses

General Rules

• 9Y will reimburse you for travels that you do on behalf of the company. (In this context, “travel” excludes the daily commute between home and office).

• In principle the company should pay for any travel options (use your company credit card or ask the HoF to book accommodation for you).

• If you pay for travel expenses out of pocket, we will reimburse the actual costs (option 1). In Austria only, it’s also possible to pay a fixed-tariff overnight allowance (option 2) instead of reimbursing the actual costs.

• You are in principle welcome to mix business and private. E.g. business meeting in Italy on Friday, stay on for the weekend for fun. Costs for the private part will be calculated out and not reimbursed.

Reimbursement option 1: Actual Costs

• Send the invoice to billing@9y.co and you will be reimbursed for the full amount.

• Get approval for the expenses from your Team Lead.

Reimbursement option 2: Overnight Allowance (only available in Austria)

• If you paid for the accommodation yourself, or you are staying with a friend, or you lost the invoice, then you can get an overnight allowance reimbursement according to the fixed tariff.

• If you got a reimbursement for actual costs (option 1 above), then the overnight allowance doesn’t apply.

• If the company provides you with accommodation, e.g. hotel paid up by the company, then the overnight allowance doesn’t apply.

• Tariff for Austrian employees:

  • Inland (within Austria): 15 EUR/night

  • Abroad: See “Nacht” here https://www.wko.at/service/steuern/auslandsreisenkostensaetze.html

Per Diems

• 9Y will pay out a per diem for travels that you do on behalf of the company.

• You are in principle welcome to mix business and private. E.g. business meeting in Italy on Friday, stay on for the weekend for fun. You will only get per diems for the business part.

• The amount of the per diem is according to a fixed tariff, and we pay out the maximum legally allowed tax-free amount.

• Tariff for Austrian employees:

  • Domestic (within Austria): 26.40 EUR/day

  • International: See “Tag” here https://www.wko.at/service/steuern/auslandsreisenkostensaetze.html

• Tariff for Croatian employees:

  • Domestic (within Croatia): 200 HRK/day

  • International: See https://narodne-novine.nn.hr/clanci/sluzbeni/2006_01_8_166.html

• Special rules may apply for travel shorter than 24h. Basically, we follow the national laws. You can ask the HoF for the specifics (the rules are too long and complicated to explain here).
