Veracruz → Tlaxcala · Carretera Federal 140 Xalapa-Veracruz
Before turning the key for Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala, on the homeward run from Xalapa, Veracruz, 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 Federal 140 Xalapa-Veracruz accepts the 177 km (110 miles) of the return in roughly 1h 58m. Pulling out of Xalapa (the capital veracruzana y centro universitario de la Sierra Madre Oriental), the road eventually puts the driver back in front of the urban skyline of Tlaxcala (the capital tlaxcalteca y la entidad más pequeña en superficie del país). Refueling sits near MXN 358.16 for the same 14.8 liters (3.9 gallons) at the EIA national average benchmark. Return reimbursement, calculated against MXN 6.50/km, returns MXN 1150.50 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 177 km between Xalapa and Tlaxcala, reimbursement of MXN 1150.50 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 Xalapa→Tlaxcala 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.
