New Year and Changes to Pricing
The year 2025 brings significant changes to the pricing of services we offer to light entrepreneurs. These changes are essential to ensure the continuity of our operations and maintain the quality of our services. In this article, we’ll provide a detailed overview of what these changes entail and how they will impact our customers.
Why Is the Pricing Changing?
Increasing regulatory requirements and changes have imposed significant additional work on invoicing service providers. Changes include:
- Updates to the criteria for tax-free travel expense reimbursements.
- Financial supervisory authority requirements related to the provision of payment services.
As a result of these changes, we must adjust the pricing of our service packages to continue providing high-quality services.
New Pricing Packages
Our revised pricing will take effect on January 1, 2025. We are updating the service levels and packages for light entrepreneurs without business IDs to better meet our customers’ needs. Key changes include:
- Light Package: Suitable for new light entrepreneurs looking for a simple and affordable invoicing solution.
- Plus Package: Includes more comprehensive services, such as handling tax-free travel expenses and payment prohibitions.
- Pro Package: Includes all Plus Package services, along with liability and accident insurance for light entrepreneurs.

Tax-Free Travel Expense Reimbursements 2025
The tax authority’s new guidelines on tax-free travel expense reimbursements represent a significant change. According to a decision by the Central Tax Board (CTB:2024/18), light entrepreneurs no longer need to provide their invoicing service provider with a client contract. The updated conditions for paying tax-free travel expense reimbursements are as follows:
- The invoicing service provider and the worker have agreed that the payment for the work will be treated as wages.
- The invoicing service provider ensures that the travel expense reimbursements meet the conditions set out in the tax authority’s decision on expenses and that the worker is eligible to receive tax-free travel expense reimbursements under income tax law.
- Travel expense reimbursements are based on a travel report submitted by the worker to the invoicing service provider, as per EPA Section 17, and the invoicing service provider verifies its accuracy.
Thanks to these guidelines, light entrepreneurs are no longer dependent on their client’s approval of travel expenses in contracts but can instead claim travel expense reimbursements directly through their invoicing service provider. However, the increased volume of travel reports will create significant additional work for invoicing services.
How Do the Changes Affect You?
Although prices are increasing, many of our customers will benefit from the new practices for tax-free travel expense reimbursements. Ultimately, the net impact on wages could be positive, especially for light entrepreneurs who travel frequently.
We will update the detailed information on pricing and package contents on our website by the end of December. Please check for the latest details and contact our customer service if you have any questions.
Summary
The year 2025 brings changes that may initially seem challenging but will offer opportunities for savings and operational efficiency in the long run. Our updates are designed to better support light entrepreneurs in an evolving business environment.
