Frequently Asked Questions
For foodora riders, the earning period runs from the 16th to the 15th of each month, and your salary is paid on the last week day of the month.
Your salary is automatically paid to your NemKonto. This is a bank account which is linked to your CPR number.
If you are switching banks then do not contact us, because your salary is still connected to your NemKonto.
When you are registered with a CVR number, a credit note is sent to you for each completed calendar month.
We pay your earnings plus VAT, which you then have to pay yourself. In addition, you must also remember to pay your tax yourself.
After you have received a credit note from us, it can take up to 5 working days before the money is in your account, depending on which bank you have.
If you work as a normal freelancer without a CVR, you do not have to update your bank details anywhere, as your salary is linked to your CPR number that is linked to a NemKonto.
If you are on CVR and there is a change in your bank details, you must send it by email to [email protected].
You can follow your earnings and bonuses on the foodora rider app under the section called “Payments” as well as “Refer a friend Rewards” if you have recommended someone to become a foodora rider.
As a foodora rider, you will be working on a freelance contract, and thus your earnings will be registered as B-income. B-income is income where no tax and am-contribution has been deducted before you are paid.
foodora reports your earnings to SKAT, so SKAT knows how much you have earned, but you have to make sure to pay your taxes yourself.
There are several options on which you can pay tax on your B-income:
- You can go into tastselv.dk and write your expected B-income into your preliminary income assessment and then you will receive a giro card, with the tax that you have to pay.
- You can also go to skat.dk and pay directly via credit card.
- You can wait until you are notified in the e-box that you must pay your remaining tax.
We recommend that you correct your preliminary income assessment and pay your tax via giro card, which you regularly receive on tastselv.dk.
To receive a giro card, enter your expected B-income in your preliminary income assessment under field 210, which you will find under “Income”.
Afterwards, your preliminary income assessment is calculated and you can see how much B-tax you have to pay in total. It may happen that you only get TAX deducted from your A-income. This depends on how high your A-income is compared to your B-income.
In the future, you can go to tastselv.dk and click on “Your B-tax for 2022” – here you can pay your B-tax rates. Here you will be able to see your giro cards, where you can pay your B-tax.
You can read more about this on SKAT’s website by following this link.
In case you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact SKAT. They are very helpful in answering questions regarding B-income.
If you have your own company/have an active CVR number:
If you have your own company, you are also responsible for paying taxes. You can read more about how to pay tax and VAT on your earnings by following this link.
In case you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact SKAT. They are very helpful in answering questions.
As a foodora rider, you decide for yourself whether you want to deliver takeaway by car, scooter or bicycle, as the payment is the same for everyone, no matter which vehicle you choose. That means that you cover the driving costs yourself if you choose to use a vehicle that requires some sort of fuel.
Remember, that you can get a deduction through SKAT for the business related driving by deducting the expense from your company’s accounts. You must keep a logbook so you can document how much you have driven privately and professionally, respectively.
Read more about driving deductions when using your own car in a company here (You will also find a link to a template for the logbook here).
We cannot document how many sessions you have run in our system, as we do not store this information for more than 3 months. It is therefore your own responsibility to write down your sessions each time.
Note that the rate has dropped slightly in 2021, and remember that you can also get a deduction for using your own bike and scooter for business driving. Read about the new rates here.
You can write your expected expenses regarding business driving into field 425 in your preliminary income assessment. When the year is over, remember to report your earnings and expenses in your tax assessment notice.
If you have further questions regarding driving deductions (transport deductions), please contact SKAT. They are usually very helpful to answer any questions you might have.
