Spesenwerk

Travel expense reports under German tax rules, as a Mac app.

Record trips, receipts and mileage, and Spesenwerk works out per-diem allowances, meal deductions and overnight rates by German tax law, with all 214 foreign rates for 2026. Reports go out as PDF, CSV or a DATEV booking batch.

What it does

  • 2026 allowances built in

    €14 and €28 per day in Germany, €20 overnight, and all 214 foreign rates from the finance ministry letter of 5 Dec 2025. Tables are kept per year and editable.

  • Meals and the midnight rule

    A provided breakfast cuts the 24-hour allowance by 20%, lunch or dinner by 40%. Absence time is worked out from the trip and can be overridden.

  • Receipts it can read

    Drop in a photo or a PDF and text recognition picks out amount, date, merchant and VAT. Foreign currency converts at the ECB rate of that day.

  • Logbook and mileage

    Vehicles, a logbook with odometer readings, route templates and distances from Apple Maps. Import drives from CSV and build a trip from them.

  • Ready for the bookkeeper

    SKR 03 and SKR 04 accounts, input tax at 19% and 7%, the 70/30 entertainment split, and a DATEV EXTF 700 batch.

  • Your data, backed up daily

    Everything saves as you type, a daily backup keeps the last 30, and a ZIP export carries all attachments.

Good to know

  • It is not tax advice. Check the allowances and account mapping before you submit a report.
  • Only German rules. Other countries' per-diem systems are not covered.

System requirements

  • macOS 14 or later
  • Mac with Apple silicon

Network access

Apart from the licence check, it connects only to these, and only for the feature named:

  • The European Central Bank, for the daily exchange rate of a foreign-currency receipt
  • Google Maps, only when you open a route there
