Expense claims can have different types, rules, and formats.
Volunteers who contribute to Wikipedia projects, or to WMBE activities, can declare and reclaim their expenses after pre and post approval.
All types of expense claims needs to be directly linked to an activity, and are registered in detail in the general ledger.
| Type | Description | Receipts required | Taxable | Complexity | Adviced | Used by WMBE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volunteer allowance | Fixed amount, limited by tax law | No | No | Low | Per case, e.g. for jury members, or occasional collaboration | Yes[1] |
| Reimbursements | Standard expense claim with receipts | Yes | Medium | Yes, default | ||
| Volunteer fee | Taxable volunteer fee (including social contributions) | No | Yes | High | No | No[2] |

- ↑ Volunteer allowances can't legally be combined with reimbursements (per volunteer)
- ↑ It has no sense to pay 40% social security and taxes on a volunteer fee of 60 €. Then you can better use a volunteer allowance of 35 €, free of taxes and social security (simplicity of administration).
