Quintana Roo → Quintana Roo · Carretera Federal 307 Cancún-Tulum
Retracing the scenic corridor between Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, and Cancún, Quintana Roo, in reverse uncovers angles missed on the outbound run — afternoon-lit hillsides, overlooks that sit on the left now, calm beaches that were busy in the morning. It is the same 79 km (49 miles) and roughly 53m along Carretera Federal 307 Cancún-Tulum, only seen with fresh eyes. Playa del Carmen (the principal polo turístico de la Riviera Maya y puerto de embarque a Cozumel) slips behind, while Cancún (the destino turístico número uno del Caribe mexicano) welcomes the driver in the late afternoon. Fuel sits around MXN 159.72 for 6.6 liters (1.7 gallons). Return reimbursement totals MXN 513.50 at the MXN 6.50/km tariff. On the Clara receipt, note the scenic corridor in the observations field to feed the internal catalog of business-tourism routes. Attach a photograph of the closing odometer alongside the exact arrival timestamp, particularly if the return crossed sunset — that detail helps the back office confirm hours-of-service when there is doubt about total time worked. To close the loop, update the corporate expense application with each scenic stop made along the way, even when no fiscal receipt was generated, so the operations log reflects the full traveled corridor. For the Canadian professional driving the 79 km between Playa del Carmen and Cancún, reimbursement of MXN 513.50 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 Playa del Carmen→Cancún 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.
