Baja California Sur → Durango · Carretera Transpeninsular 1
Before turning the key for Durango, Durango, on the homeward run from La Paz, Baja California Sur, do a quick inventory sweep of onboard equipment: proposal binder, undelivered promotional items, and visitor badge should each go into a separate compartment so nothing slides into the footwell during a sharp brake. Carretera Transpeninsular 1 accepts the 718 km (446 miles) of the return in roughly 7h 59m. Pulling out of La Paz (the capital sudcaliforniana sobre el Mar de Cortés y nodo del ferry Topolobampo-La Paz), the road eventually puts the driver back in front of the urban skyline of Durango (the capital duranguense y enlace clave del corredor transversal Mazatlán-Matamoros). Refueling sits near MXN 1447.16 for the same 59.8 liters (15.8 gallons) at the EIA national average benchmark. Return reimbursement, calculated against MXN 6.50/km, returns MXN 4667.00 into the driver's wallet. Snap the closing odometer with the phone camera and attach it directly to the Clara receipt — internal controls accept photographic evidence without a supplementary spreadsheet. For the Canadian professional driving the 718 km between La Paz and Durango, reimbursement of MXN 4667.00 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 La Paz→Durango 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.
