In case of home charging a company car (e.g., leased vehicles, service fleet cars etc), the energy costs for charging are preferably paid by the employer. As an alternative for the cumbersome use expense declaration forms and in accordance with sector processes, we have developed an automated scalable and tax compliant home charging reimbursement solution.

LMS facilitates home charging reimbursement when both the CPO and MSP are active on EVC-Net. Limitations apply when the CPO or e-MSP is external.
How is home charging reimbursement facilitated by the e-mobility sector?
- The CPO defines the right charge tariff, which should reflect the energy tariff from employee’s energy contract.
- The CPO identifies if a combination of charge card and charge station is home charging and should be reimbursed by the employer.
- After a home charging session, the CPO sends a Charge Detail Record (CDR) to the MSP as usual, but labels the CDR for home charging reimbursement in accordance with market standards.
- The CPO sends a separate monthly invoice to the MSP for all home charging sessions. This invoice should be out of scope of VAT to comply with tax laws.
- The MSP sends a separate monthly invoice to the employer for home charging costs, again outside scope of VAT.
- The CPO reimburses the employee.
