Coming back from Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala, to Pachuca, Hidalgo, the return leg also clocks roughly 129 km (80 miles) typically along Carretera Federal 117 Tlaxcala-Puebla, but the traffic picture shifts considerably compared with the outbound segment. Tlaxcala, the capital tlaxcalteca y la entidad más pequeña en superficie del país, fades behind the wheel while the vehicle pushes back toward Pachuca, the capital hidalguense y puerta de entrada a la Sierra Norte desde el Valle de México, often after a full day of meetings, site visits, or prospecting calls. Plan 1h 26m plus a generous buffer against evening congestion, particularly on Fridays, holiday eves, or after major sporting events.

The corresponding reimbursement on the way back reaches MXN 838.50 at MXN 6.50/km. Combine both legs on a single Clara receipt to document the full round-trip cleanly, with separate timestamps for transparent audit defense. For the Canadian professional driving the 129 km between Tlaxcala and Pachuca, reimbursement of MXN 838.50 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 Tlaxcala→Pachuca 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.
