JB: Haibun is a Japanese word meaning 'poetry prose'. And, I don't mean poetic prose as we know it in the west. It has developed from a diary form of writing which Matsuo Basho kept as he went on pilgrimage in Japan. His most famous one is known as ' The Narrow Road To The Far North '.
The price of gas is the main factor when calculating the standard mileage rate. For instance, in 2011, the IRS provided two standard mileage rates: one for the first six months of the year, and one for the second half of the year to reflect a spike in gas prices. The 2013 standard mileage rate was set at 56.5 cents a mile.
Mileage Reimbursement. Companies are willing to reimburse mileage to compensate employees so as to better retain and recruit people they need, according to HR Hero. Typically, company requirements for mileage reimbursement are set based on the annual IRS standard rate for business travel.For example, in 2013, a business could pay up to 56.5 cents per mile and write it off as a business expense. This is much simpler than keeping detailed records of actual operating expenses.ompanies can pay a mileage reimbursement that counts as a business expense and that is tax-free for employees as well. However, if they don't set requirements that follow Internal Revenue Service rules, both the company and the employees may lose their tax advantages.
