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.
With the standard mileage rate, you take a mileage deduction for a specified number of cents for every business mile you drive. The IRS sets the standard mileage rate each year. For 2014, the rate was 56Â¢ per mile, and the 2015 rate is 57.5Â¢ per mile.To figure out your deduction, simply multiply your business miles by the applicable standard mileage rate. Example: Ed, a realtor, drove his car 20,000 miles for business during 2014.he standard mileage rate requires that you keep track of how many miles you drive for business and the total miles you drive, not the actual expenses for your car, such as gas, maintenance, or repairs.
