Difference between 経費 and 出費


Could someone explain to me the difference between 経費 and 出費? They're both
translated as expenses, however they don't seem entirely interchangeable.

経費 seems to be used when talking about deductible expenses (taxes, your work
etc...)  
出費 seems to convey the idea of burden?

So when I'd like to say that the car is a huge expense; depending on the
meaning, I could use both?

(I know that one is strictly a noun, whereas the other can be used with suru)




経費 refers to the money needed to properly run a business. It includes both
fixed running costs (including labor cost) and one-time costs (like airfare
for business trips or expenses for new server machines). 経費で落とす is a common
set phrase that means "to have it paid by the company" or "to put it on the
expense account". Taxes are taxes and not 経費. Read [this

dora/accounting/expense.jsp) to see which type of expense is considered as
justifiable 経費 by tax offices.

出費 refers to any event where your money goes out of your wallet or bank
account, or the amount of such money. In particular, you have to use 出費 when
you talk about your family finances (unless you're a business owner). Taxes
are 出費, too.

These are both pure nouns. Neither works as a suru-verb.
