Baja California Sur → Baja California Sur · Carretera Transpeninsular 1
Few highway segments in the country deliver the visual payload that defines the run between La Paz, Baja California Sur, and Los Cabos, Baja California Sur: roughly 181 km (112 miles) of natural overlooks, mountain descents, preserved coastline, and bays seen from Carretera Transpeninsular 1. The drive rewards calm pacing — budget 2h 1m plus a buffer to stop at two or three viewpoints. Pulling out of La Paz (the capital sudcaliforniana sobre el Mar de Cortés y nodo del ferry Topolobampo-La Paz), the road eventually opens onto Los Cabos (the destino turístico de la punta de la península de Baja California). Fuel use sits near 15.1 liters (4.0 gallons) of gasolina Magna, costing about MXN 365.42. Corporate reimbursement on the outbound leg, even on a scenic corridor, follows the standard MXN 6.50/km tariff and totals MXN 1176.50. Pair the technical visit with company-mandated travel and log the primary business purpose on the Clara receipt. Attach to the same PDF any toll receipts, meal invoices, and tourism-area parking stubs — internal audit accepts those supporting documents as long as the visit justification appears in the observations field. Professionals who run scenic corridors with a commercial agenda typically use the drive to mentally rehearse client presentations, dictate field-report audio memos, or listen to specialized industry podcasts, turning the leg into productive preparation time rather than dead transit. For the UK professional driving the 181 km (112 mi) between La Paz and Los Cabos, reimbursement of MXN 1176.50 fits the subsistence allowance regime when paid at or below HMRC AMAP rates of 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year. UK firms reimburse at HMRC AMAP rates (45p / 25p per mile) so the payment stays free of PAYE and NIC under approved mileage allowance payments rules. Retain a VAT receipt accepted by HMRC for input-tax recovery from the BEIS-tracked forecourt network forecourt used to refuel; His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) compliance officers cross-reference fuel VAT receipts with the P11D return when reimbursement exceeds the approved rate. Excess paid above AMAP on the La Paz→Los Cabos run must be reported via PAYE settlement agreement or it becomes a benefit-in-kind on the employee's tax code.
