# Ireland: Trips, subsistence, and reporting

Expenses supports Enhanced Revenue Reporting for Irish Revenue compliance. The following settings are available to help you meet these requirements.

### **Mileage**

By default, Expenses calculates mileage using the quickest route. To use the shortest route instead, go to **Setup > Settings** and enable **Use shortest route instead of quickest for distance calculations**.

### **Cumulative mileage bands**

Expenses calculates cumulative mileage when a draft claim is created. To ensure the correct mileage band is applied at the point of submission, go to **Setup > Settings** and enable **Recalculate mileage rates on submission**.

### **Revenue reporting categories**

To ensure expense claims are submitted under the category labels recognised by the Enhanced Revenue Report, go to **Setup > Categories**, select a category, and scroll down to the **Revenue Reporting Category** field. Select the relevant label from the dropdown, then click **Save**. Repeat this for every category required for Enhanced Revenue Reporting.

### **Exporting the Enhanced Revenue Report**

When a category has **Enable Subsistence Rates** or a **Revenue Reporting Category** selected, an additional **Enhanced Revenue Report (Irish Revenue)** tab appears in the **Accounting** menu.

- The **Export** tab displays all expense claims.
- The **Enhanced Revenue Report (Irish Revenue)** tab displays only the claims that need to be reported to Revenue. These can be exported as a JSON file, ready to upload directly to the Revenue website.
