Veracruz → Puebla · Carretera Federal 180 Coatzacoalcos-Villahermosa
What does it actually cost to drive from Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, to Tehuacán, Puebla? The hard numbers: 390 km (242 miles) of pavement primarily along Carretera Federal 180 Coatzacoalcos-Villahermosa, 4h 20m behind the wheel, and roughly MXN 786.50 in fuel alone — that is 32.5 liters (8.6 gallons) of gasolina Magna at a 24.20 MXN/liter benchmark. Anyone leaving Coatzacoalcos, the puerto petroquímico del sur de Veracruz y enlace del Corredor Interoceánico, typically carries samples, signed proposals, or service equipment to deliver in Tehuacán, the segunda ciudad poblana y polo avícola y embotellador del centro-sur, and aims to be home the same evening. It is worth confirming whether the haul fits inside your daily hours-of-service window or whether an overnight at a midpoint hotel makes more sense. Applying the tarifa promedio de mercado mileage rate of MXN 6.50/km (MXN 10.46/mile), the gross outbound reimbursement settles at MXN 2535.00. Attach the visit purpose, client name, and plate number to the Clara receipt so the journal entry lands directly in the business-travel expense account. For the Canadian professional driving the 390 km between Coatzacoalcos and Tehuacán, reimbursement of MXN 2535.00 stays excluded from T4 employment income provided the per-kilometre rate matches the CRA's reasonable allowance benchmark for the province. Canadian employers typically reimburse at the CRA reasonable per-kilometre rate (61¢ for the first 5,000 km in 2024) so the payment is excluded from T4 employment income. Keep the GST/HST-compliant fuel receipt from any NRCan-tracked retail network station used during the trip — Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) auditors regularly verify fuel-receipt GST/HST when reviewing T2200 declarations of conditions of employment. The Coatzacoalcos→Tehuacán mileage must be logged with date, business purpose, opening and closing odometer readings inside the corporate expense system before month-end close to remain deductible.
