Danish term

kørselsafregning

Danish to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs business
I'm translating a company's guidelines for employee use of personal vehicles for company purposes. Afregning is normally 'settlement' - but it looks like SKAT uses 'kørselsafregning' more like a log/statement of kilometres driven? They also talk about high and low rates, which, I believe, refer to the per-kilometre allowance rate.

See SKAT's example here: https://skat.dk/media/qsydhtjj/koerselsgodtgoerelse-2018-udf...

Does anyone know the equivalent to this kørselsAFREGNING in English? My deadline is today, so no need to post suggestions tomorrow - thanks!
Proposed translations (English)
5 mileage claim
5 mileage allowance
4 (company-car motoring) mileage account (taken); statement drawn

Awesome! 'claim' is the word I was looking for - my mind had literally gone blank. The tricky part is that Danes uses afregning both for settling/paying and claiming as a disbursement. This was great help. Can you post it as an actual suggestion so I can award points tomorrow?
Christopher Schröder Oct 24, 2023:
Mileage claims is what that would be in the UK
Pernille Kienle (asker) Oct 24, 2023:
Not sure how to edit my question - but here's some context - don't think per-kilometre allowance works for kørselsgodtgørelse here? Ved godkendelse af kørselsafregninger , bekræfter lederen at det ikke har været muligt at gøre brug af offentlig transport eller tjenestebil, og denne vurdering skal gøres ved hver rejse, selvom der på forhånd er godkendt kørsel til høj takst til formålet.

mileage allowance

This is what I always use when it relates to tax.
Note from asker:
If you look at SKAT's link and the context, how about 'approving statements of kilometres driven'?

(company-car motoring) mileage account (taken); statement drawn

A blank is, exceptionally, drawn with my Bailey's (non-Irish Cream) financial DAN/ENG dictionary, though others on ProZ are in possession of sound (?) alternative glossaries.

I'll leave others to post mileage claim, but I am sure afregning works like Abrechnung in DEU and 'liquidacion' in SPA, in both of which lingos it def. means a (*statement* of) a/c drawn, taken or (nobly or igminiously) presented.

I've also prefixed mileage account with motoring as there could be a mix-up with an airlines' Frequent Flyer - Miles & More proram/me - mileage account. Pls. see the first example sentence.

Over to our good-humo(u)red Transatlantic colleagues in the US of A !

I know Pernille, but I am *NOT* referring to you and other worthy, venerable and venerated Canadian colleagues whom I met (or who, for some reason, shunned me) - in the North American summer all of 21 years ago - at the FIT World Translators' *and Interpreters* Congress in Vancouver, BC, rather others esconced in the (Deep) South.

I kknow. Again I was taking a swipe and 'shooting across the bows' of a couple of bad-tempered ProZ colleagues who, with an understandable agenda of their own, rarely agree with my answers. Sob, sob!
Example sentence:

Miles & More ! he miles you have earned will be credited to your mileage account automatically after the flight.
