    Working with SAP BW Consulting [Consultation]

    Hotel vs Rent : There are 2 possible situations. We assume you either stay in a Hotel or you decided to Rent an Apartment close to the office.

    If you stay in a Hotel, enter your monthly hotel bill amount and then enter 0 for rent.

    Alternatively if you rented a second local apartment and pay rent every month and no longer stay in a hotel, enter 0 for "hotel" and then enter your monthly rental amount in "rent".

    Short-term jobs, due to long term rental or mortgage loan agreements, you will most likely decide to just stay in a hotel. In this case, you will continue to have some fixed Permanent residence expenses in addition to variable Travel expenses.

    Long-term jobs, if you are able to end your rental agreement or sell your home and move to a new job location, then your permanent residence expenses will transfer to your new job location. In this case, you will no longer have travel expenses.

  • City B Information:

    "Travel Expenses" are used to build up the "Gross Expenses" portion of the Business Expense P&L Statements.

    Travel Expenses are significantly large and outside the consultants' ability to control.

    Depending on employment terms, Travel Expenses can be either reimbursable or non-reimbursable Business Expenses.

    In the case of a higher income level, a new tax rate is also necessary.

    Higher Income tax rates usually apply with higher income rates.
