Separate temporary relief from recurring costs
The temporary reduction described for September to December 2026 may improve liquidity, but should not silently become the basis for a long-term fixed transport price. Show which journeys fall within the reduction period and what assumptions apply afterwards.
Match the charge to the journey period
Journey date, applicable rate and statement must reconcile. A later invoice may relate to an earlier period. Booking only a total makes it difficult to distinguish more kilometres, a different vehicle mix and the effect of the temporary measure.
Apply the agreed surcharge method
A surcharge based on actual costs differs from a fixed contractual uplift. Read the agreement before changing customer invoices. For multi-year contracts, compare the position with and without the reduction and test sensitivity to mileage and fleet changes. A cash forecast should also show when the temporary benefit ends.
