A client wishes to remain anonymous but has identified himself by mentioning his tail twice. He asks whether a sprint from the sofa to the kitchen counter, a distance of 11 feet, can be claimed as business mileage.
The standard rate is 67 cents a mile. Your trip, at 0.002 of a mile, yields a claim of one tenth of a cent. We admire your thoroughness but the paperwork costs more than the claim.
However, if you perform the sprint 40 times a day and keep a log, the annual total reaches 29 miles and $19.43. We will process it on the condition that the log does not contain a single entry reading Zoomies.
