The Guide to Incidental Expenses for Business and Travel
Бrex reports that incidental expenses, like small travel fees, accumulate significantly, affecting budgets and requiring tracking for tax deductions.
Examples of such expenses include:
- $3 ATM fee at the airport
- $5 tip for the bellhop
- $2.50 for printing boarding passes at the hotel business center
These expenses don’t fit neatly into budget categories, but they accumulate into meaningful amounts that affect both personal finances and business operations.
As a result,
incidental expenses create accounting challenges, complicate tax filings, and trigger audit questions when poorly documented.
