would people have any tax advantage for commuting this long? For example, in Germany, you would be able to claim about 30 cents per kilometer (one way) for your commute on your tax return.
Otherwise, is the salary gap so big that people would not be better off working closer to home?
- calderwoodra 3y agoI don't think such a thing exists in the US. If anything, California taxes you for every mile you drive via the highest gas taxes in the county (which in classic California fashion, hurts the poorest among us).
- rconti 3y agoNo. Businesses can deduct mileage by personal vehicle usage (now $0.655 per mile)[1] , and so if I'm on a "work trip' and use my personal car, typically I will get reimbursed by my employer at that same rate. And if I was self-employed, of course, I would get that tax deduction. However, personal vehicle use is not tax-deductible for individuals. 1. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-23-03.pdf https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-23-03.pdf
