Some travel is allowed as a tax write-off if you are associating it with your business. While lately, there have been very few trips I've made that I can use as business trips, the day will come when I'll be sent to further my skills as a McDonald's manager. Part of that is paid for by the corporation, but part of it will be my responsibility. This means that if I am sent out of town and wind up staying in Hilton Head rentals, the company will pay for my stay there but I will have some minor expenses that they won't cover.
At some point in my management experience, these trips will occur. Last week, another manager was sent to Chicago where she stayed for 4 days to attend classes and to meet with people higher up in the company. She went by plane, but I think if they send me there, I'll see if they will give me a gas allowance and let me drive. I am just not wanting to fly..lol
