Webexpenses App: Mileage Calculation feature

What is a mileage expense?

Mileage expenses are the costs incurred when using a vehicle for a specific business purpose. The employee reimbursement of these mileage costs is based on company policy or standard mileage rates. Expenses for mileage are the most commonly claimed form of business expenses.

For many companies, mileage expenses are the second-largest controllable cost after salaries. A global survey found that 47% of employees admit to submitting exaggerated or false mileage claims.
