How to Deduct Business Mileage
Most of the companies, private and government, provide their staff with some additional facilities including insurance cover, medical (for the employee and his/her immediate family), utilities and expenses for the vehicle while some employers also pay the expenses which are incurred during a business trip only.
When an employee claims fuel and other (vehicle) expenses, the employers request you to provide the proof of all the incurred expenses and then pay you according to the standard mileage rate set by the company. If you are an employee in the United States of America, you need to visit this website to make an appeal for reimbursement from your employer – www.irs.gov
