MG → GO · BR-365 / BR-050
The night-time return from Uberlândia, MG, to Goiânia, GO, deserves its own protocol: anti-glare driving glasses on, dashboard light dimmed to the lowest setting, and well-lit truck stops pre-identified as candidate rest stops. The 349 km (217 miles) of BR-365 / BR-050 and the 4h 6m of driving cross zones with patchy cellular coverage during the small hours. Approximate refuel cost on the way back stays at R$ 193,37 for the 31.7 liters (8.4 gallons) consumed. Forecast reimbursement for the night leg holds at R$ 383,90 applying the prevailing R$ 1,10/km — without an automatic night premium in the mercado privado (faixa típica) table. If the company pays night-driving overtime, open a separate line on the Clara receipt: the payroll integration already recognizes the entry. For the US professional driving the 349 km (217 mi) between Uberlândia and Goiânia, reimbursement of R$ 383,90 stays non-taxable to the employee when the employer follows an accountable plan under Treas. Reg. §1.62-2 and reimburses at or below the IRS standard mileage rate. US employers generally reimburse at the IRS standard mileage rate so the payment stays non-taxable to the employee under Pub. 463. Keep the IRS-compliant expense report (Form 1040 Schedule C, line 9) alongside the fuel receipt from any EIA-tracked retail station network pump used along the leg; Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examiners pull contemporaneous mileage logs first when auditing Schedule C unreimbursed business expenses, and the Uberlândia→Goiânia corridor must show date, business purpose, and odometer readings.
