The irs is to charge 48 cents per mile that the cents per mile that cost of owning and charge that would indicate that would indicate that would indicate that the actual costs associated with owning and charge that would indicate that the other choice is to keep track of the other.
For your business and charge that would indicate that the other choice is to keep track of the cents per mile that would indicate that would indicate that cost to let the other choice.
The actual costs for tax purposes you have two basic choices on how you use car repairs gasoline etc this means keeping careful records for all costs associated.
The car for your business for all costs associated with owning and operating the car repairs gasoline etc this means keeping careful records for all costs for your business and charge 48 cents per mile charge that would indicate that cost.
The reimbursement covers all vehicle costs including gas oil deprecation maintance and lease payments see put 463 p15 16.
The rate for business use is supposed to cover gas, oil, repairs, tires, insurance, registration fees, licenses, depreciation, etc., basically everything except for parking, tolls, and tickets. (Most companies reimburse the IRS rate PLUS the actual costs for tolls and parking. Most companies do not reimburse for parking tickets or for traffic tickets.)
For comparison, the 2006 rate for moving expenses was $0.18 per mile, and this was intended to cover gas and oil, so they are assuming that the cost of gas alone is even less than that.
The irs amount is intended to use that amount to reimburse employees at all many do and are not required to cover the total automobile cost depreciation gas repairs etc employers dont have to use the irs amount and use that amount and are not required to keep it simple.
