Income - salary and reimbursement
The employer will provide a tax return or statement of payments with all your wages, salaries and allowances for the year.

Include in your income tax return all income that you received during the year, regardless of when you received it, including:

wages and salaries
compensation
Excluding refunds.

Wages and wages
You must include your salary and wage as income in your tax return. Including all bonuses.

Also see:

Income from labor
compensation
Include all quotas that are listed in the statement of income or in the income statement as income in the income statement.

You can receive a reimbursement for:

you compensate for an aspect of your work, such as transporting unpleasant or dangerous goods
help you pay certain costs, such as meals, in comparison with the overtime you work.
If your employer pays you:

an amount based on an estimate of what you could spend, how to pay cents per kilometer if you use your car for work, so it's a bonus
for the actual amount of the costs (before or after you have incurred the costs), such as paying for the gas that you use when you use your car for work, this is a reimbursement.
Compensation on the payment overview or in the income statement
You can take advantage of benefits:

for work that can be unpleasant, special or dangerous, such as collecting diapers, butchers, bones or fat or camping
as recognition of special skills, such as first aid certification or rear steering
to compensate for specificities in the sector, such as weekend or holiday costs.
These payments do not cover the costs that you can incur. You can also receive reimbursements to cover the costs that you must make possible, such as extraordinary meals.

Include these reimbursements as income. If you receive a benefit from your employer, you are not always entitled to a deduction - this depends on the situation. See deductions.

Compensation not included in the payment overview or in the income statement
The employer may not include compensation in the payment overview or in the income statement. This may apply to travel allowances and allowances for exceptional meals paid under an industrial law, a price, or an agreement. You can see these reimbursements in the payroll.

If the reimbursement is not included in the payment overview and the user:

brought the total amount of deductible expenses
do not include it as income on the tax return
you cannot claim a deduction for these expenses

spent more than your reimbursement
include compensation as income in the income tax return
claim a deduction if you qualify. See deductions.
