Baja California Sur → Sonora · Carretera Transpeninsular 1
The long-haul return between Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, and Hermosillo, Sonora — another 869 km (540 miles) along Carretera Transpeninsular 1 — closes a journey that hardly fits inside a single business day. Reserve another 9h 39m on the schedule and consider a second overnight if departure happens at the close of business hours. Anyone driving back from Los Cabos (the destino turístico de la punta de la península de Baja California) often pulls into Hermosillo (the capital sonorense y sede de la planta automotriz Ford Hermosillo) over the weekend. Incremental fuel adds MXN 1752.08 (72.4 liters / 19.1 gallons). Return reimbursement reaches MXN 5648.50 at the MXN 6.50/km tariff. Reconcile outbound and return inside a single Clara PDF, with hotels itemized as separate line items, so finance can reimburse the full bundle in one batch. Priority processing happens when all supporting documents (fuel invoice, toll receipt, hotel folio, meal receipts) sit attached in chronological order and identified by the originating project number. For trips longer than three days, the finance department may also require an executive visit summary attached, describing objectives achieved, agreed next steps, and the commercial indicators generated. For the Canadian professional driving the 869 km between Los Cabos and Hermosillo, reimbursement of MXN 5648.50 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 Los Cabos→Hermosillo 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.
