Published by CRA automobile allowance rates. Checked against that source.
15,000 business kilometres in a year comes to C$10,350.00 (5,000 km at 73c a kilometre; 10,000 km at 67c a kilometre).
Whatever the rate, the claim only stands up if the journeys behind it do. That means the date, where you went, how far, and why it was business. Reclaim records each trip as you drive, prices it at the rate above, and turns the lot into a claim you can send.
Rates change when the CRA changes them. Reclaim picks new rates up without waiting for an app update, and old trips keep the rate that applied on the day they happened.
