PERSONAL CAR:
In case you intend to apply for a reimbursement to use your own car, you must fill in your car details in the specific page of the INFN portal.
STARTING THE BUSINESS TRIP FROM A LOCATION OTHER THAN POVO/TRENTO:
In case you start your mission in a place different than Povo/Trento, the travel expenses can only be fully reimbursed if economically convenient. In case of prepaid tickets, please pay attention to this fact, otherwise you might be asked to refund INFN for the extra expenses.
Example 1: I live in Padova and I must go to a business trip to Milan: I am only going to be reimbursed the full cost of the ticket Padova to Milan in case it costs the same or less than Trento to Milan.
Example 2: I live in Bolzano and I must go to a business trip to Verona. I am going to obtain only the reimbursement up to the cost of a train Trento-Verona.
A proof of the convenience must be provided.
APPLICATION FOR A REIMBURSEMENT:
Within a month from the end of the business trip you must submit on the portal a reimbursement application and you must submit your original documents to the administrative office at TIFPA.
Please note: in case you do not submit the application and the documents within 6 months from the end of the trip, for upcoming business trips you will not be granted down payments and prepaid tickets.
UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS PREVENTING YOUR DEPARTURE:
If you cannot leave for the business trip you have already planned due to circumstances beyond your control (e.g. health issues), please inform ASAP the administration of TIFPA and TRENITALIA/CISALPINA and provide documents to prove your condition. TIFPA is going to cover all the expenses, including possible penalties.
TAX RATE:
