- Customer trips.
- Medical or commercial appointments.
- Inter-city missions (station, airport, secondary office).
👉 You can therefore charge it as an expense in your accounting, which reduces your taxable profit.

The deduction applies to:
- Auto-entrepreneurs and freelancers (consultants, trainers, freelancers).
- Liberal professions (doctors, lawyers, architects...).
- VSE/SME (salespeople, real estate agents, start-ups).
- Associations (if declared use).
💡 Key point: the use should be warranted (invoices and expense reports).

Whether 1 day, 1 week or several months, the bill is deductible if the trip is related to the activity.
