Author Topic: Mileage Reimbursement... Using own car for work (Read 410 times)

OK...

I am currently required to use my own car to travel to different clients etc. I am being reimbursed $.35 canuck bux (.29USD) per kilometer. This rate hasn't changed in the last 18 months, though I have put in a request to have the rate reviewed with gas prices up more than 25% since I started working for this company. avg price here is approx $1.30CDN/L (1.10USD/L)

Curious what others are receiving as reimbursement for using their own cars.

My company reimburses .40 USD per mile currently. Does not reflect the new prices for gas tho

We get $.405 a mile at our school system.

.4€/$.5 per kilometer. 0.06€ extra if I'm pulling a small trailer. Same for every employer here.

I'm at $.40 (US) currently (up from .34 at the beginning of this year).

My company uses the current mileage rate for the region were in. I'm not sure where they get the rate from but I know they update it daily cause I've driven to the same place twice in 2 days and gotten different amounts.

Standard (at my company) is .35 per mile AFAIK. I do not have to travel much (last time was a few months back) I do not know if it has changed lately.

Just a quick note to those of us who are reimbursed under what the federal rate is...38.5 cent a mile last year(I think). You can claim the difference on your taxes, but you have to itemize.

$.405 cents (Forty and 1/2 cents) a mile for local mileage(Does not include commuting unless it is between plants for business.)

According to a recent conversation on Usenet (which may not be legally binding) you could conceivably claim this mileage reimbursement towards rental of an airplane (or towards costs on your own plane) if you traveled somewhere and wanted to build some hours while at it. The trick to it would be that the flying must not be a requirement, eg, it must not be needed for your job or else you fall into the 'paid to fly' complications that require a commercial certificate, different insurance, etc etc.

Well that might work with a heli license heh.. Every location I go to has a helipad (hospitals)
The majority of my trips are under 40 kms return, though last month I recorded over 1400km travelled beyond the commute (itself 850kms/week - paid out of own pocket)

Just glad I have the almost perfect car for this job... 91 Toyota Corolla. 640kms on $40 in gas, reliability is good and parts are cheap.

.405/mile is the rate recognized by the IRS.

$0.68 / km which makes .42 / mile.

I'm guessing it's the other way around.
