Turn every Kilometre Into Tax Free Cash in your Pocket
Imagine turning every kilometer you drive for your business into a simple, automated process that yields significant tax-free savings – potentially up to €1,000 per month. With integrated mileage tracking, managing trips, claiming mileage deductions, and ensuring Revenue compliance become straightforward. Instead of wrestling with manual logs, complicated receipts, and VAT calculations, you can focus on what truly matters: growing your business.
1. Recording and Tracking Mileage
Situation: Logging mileage trips can feel tedious—finding distances, applying the correct Revenue rates, and keeping track of multiple journeys each week.
Value of a smart mileage log: Automated mileage calculation saves time, reduces manual data entry, and minimises errors. By turning your journeys into easily logged trips, you unlock tax-free earnings without extra hassle.
How Bullet Automates or Supports It (Steps/Smart Assistant):
- Automatic Mileage Tracking: Enter start and end locations, and Bullet uses Google Maps integration to calculate distance and apply the correct rate.
- Manual Entry and Editing: Need to make adjustments or add details? You can update entries at any time.
2. Managing Mileage Expenses and Reimbursements
Situation: Combining mileage claims with other expenses and ensuring proper categorisation can be complex. Staff reimbursements, VAT considerations, and record-keeping all add layers of complexity.
Value of all-in-one expense management: Centralised expense management streamlines reimbursement. You ensure every claim is recorded, accounted for, and integrated into payroll—maximising tax savings without extra admin work.
How Bullet Automates or Supports It (Complete Autopilot):
- Integration with Expense Management: Mileage entries seamlessly flow into employee expense statements and payroll.
- Mileage Categories and Tags: Easily categorise mileage (e.g., business travel) for clarity and compliance.
- Subsistence Integration: Add subsistence allowances—like a €42.99 daily tax-free subsistence—directly alongside mileage, avoiding individual sandwich or toll receipts.
- Claim at a flat subsistence rate: Instead of tracking small expenses, just claim your mileage plus a flat subsistence rate, saving time and maximising tax-free income.
3. Ensuring Compliance with Revenue Guidelines
Situation: The Revenue Commissioners have strict rules on mileage rates, distance bands, and documentation. Non-compliance risks audits, fines, and penalties.
Value of automated compliance support: Automatically adhering to Revenue rules ensures peace of mind. You leverage the correct mileage rates, comply with ERR (Employer’s Return Report) reporting requirements, and avoid legal trouble.

4. Seeing Your Travel Expenses at a Glance
Situation: Without a clear view of your mileage costs, it’s hard to optimise travel patterns or forecast future expenses.
Value of a mileage claims dashboard: Real-time analytics help you identify travel trends, potentially reduce unnecessary trips, and improve operational efficiency.
