Guest Guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Does anyone know where I can get information about being reimbursed by my employer for using my car to make deliveries? I deliver pizza and my employer gives us .30 / mile for mileage. This seems a bit low especially now that gas is 3.50 a gallon. Is there a law that mandates what an employer is required to pay? Anyone heard about pizza delivery drivers organizing and becoming union? The rates would sure change then wouldnt they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeah - and the number of delivery drivers losing their jobs - maybe including you - would be immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get 22 cents per mile reimbursement. What a joke! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can claim 48.50 cents for mileage and you're collecting tips on top of what he already pays you plus the mileage? If my pizza goes up in price, I'll kick your butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke! @ [/quote Isnt there a State or Federal law that mandates the minimum amount the employer is supposed to reimburse you. I know that you can claim .52/mile on your taxes if you are want to claim mileage. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my pizza goes up in price, I'll kick your butt We claim our tips. We also do not make minimum wage. Since we are using our vehicles we should be compensated. Mileage also covers wear and tear on our vehicles. pizza will cost more trust me and the employer will blame it on supplies and gas. Unfortunatly the increase goes straight into his pocket.

2pelo Honey Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Can't you claim the difference between what he pays you and what the IRS allows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benni Booboo Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I don't know if this pertains to you, but here is some information: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=176030,00.html IRS Announces 2008 Standard Mileage Rates; Rate for Business Miles Set at 50.5 Cents per Mile IR-2007-192, Nov. 27, 2007 WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today issued the 2008 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes. Beginning Jan. 1, 2008, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (including vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be: 50.5 cents per mile for business miles driven; 19 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes; and 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations. The new rate for business miles compares to a rate of 48.5 cents per mile for 2007. The new rate for medical and moving purposes compares to 20 cents in 2007. The rate for miles driven in service of charitable organizations has remained the same. The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile; the standard rate for medical and moving purposes is based on the variable costs as determined by the same study. Runzheimer International, an independent contractor, conducted the study for the IRS. The mileage rate for charitable miles is set by law. A taxpayer may not use the business standard mileage rate for a vehicle after using any depreciation method under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), after claiming a Section 179 deduction for that vehicle, for any vehicle used for hire or for more than four vehicles used simultaneously. Revenue Procedure 2007-70 contains additional information on these standard mileage rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I found that too this is how much you can deduct at taxtime Unfortunatly that doesnt help put gas in the car the rest of the year. Wonder if the employer would float us a loan and let us pay him back when we get our refund @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
