Colima → Nayarit · Carretera Federal 200 Manzanillo-Puerto Vallarta
Outside sales reps regularly slot the Manzanillo, Colima, → Tepic, Nayarit, leg into the weekly visit calendar precisely because the 340 km (211 miles) along Carretera Federal 200 Manzanillo-Puerto Vallarta fit inside 3h 47m of continuous driving and still leave room for a full client meeting before the homeward trip. Pulling out of Manzanillo — the principal puerto de carga contenerizada del Pacífico mexicano — the route crosses light industrial zones, then farmland, before opening into Tepic, the capital nayarita y nodo del corredor Mazatlán-Guadalajara. The budget line item calls for 28.3 liters (7.5 gallons) of gasolina Magna (about MXN 684.86 at the national average benchmark of 24.20 MXN/liter), plus discretionary tolls billed per axle. Reimbursement math, against the tarifa promedio de mercado schedule of MXN 6.50/km, returns MXN 2210.00 to the contributor at week-end. To accelerate finance approval, generate the Clara receipt already populated with the visited account number and the open service-order ID from the corporate CRM. For the Canadian professional driving the 340 km between Manzanillo and Tepic, reimbursement of MXN 2210.00 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 Manzanillo→Tepic 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.
