CE → RN · BR-116 / BR-222
BR-116 / BR-222 is the backbone for anyone connecting Fortaleza, CE, to Natal, RN: roughly 566 km (352 miles) of pavement that translate into about 6h 40m at the wheel under favorable conditions. Fortaleza, the capital cearense e maior cidade do Nordeste em PIB, gradually slips into the rearview mirror as the landscape shifts from city blocks through rural counties and finally into the metropolitan footprint of Natal, the capital potiguar conhecida como "Cidade do Sol" do litoral nordestino. Fleets that slot this leg into a weekly rotation tend to schedule mid-week departures, when truck volume is lighter and weather-related closures are less likely. The engine averages around 51.5 liters (13.6 gallons) of gasolina comum, which works out to about R$ 314,15 at the 6.10 BRL/liter benchmark. Reimbursement for the outbound run, calculated at R$ 1,10/km, totals R$ 622,60. Generate the receipt in Clara before stepping out of the vehicle so the expense lands in the same-day close, with zero rework for accounting. For the Canadian professional driving the 566 km between Fortaleza and Natal, reimbursement of R$ 622,60 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 Fortaleza→Natal 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.
