For music teachers

Mileage receipts for in-home lessons

Piano, guitar, voice, instrument — MEI-friendly log.

In-home music teachers drive from student to student. Every home lesson has a deductible trip.

Common pains

• Short trips add up — 10 km × 50 lessons = 500 km/month.
• Paid student recital — Performance forgotten in log.
• Sheet music / supply runs — Music store is deductible.

Best practices

• Log lesson before playing — Recent memory.
• Separate lesson from recital — Distinct cost centers.
• Log music-store trips — Professional supplies.
