Title: Mileage Reimbursement... Using own car for work
Post by: SKurj on September 06, 2005, 01:59:11 PM: 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.

Post by: Chairboy on September 06, 2005, 02:25:18 PM: 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.

Post by: SKurj on September 06, 2005, 02:49:49 PM: 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.

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