Sure, here is information about a conveyance allowance:

Conveyance Allowance:

A conveyance allowance is a non-taxable payment made to an employee for travel expenses incurred while traveling between the employee’s home and the place of employment. It is typically offered to employees who have to travel frequently for their job.

Eligibility:

• Generally, employees who are required to travel for their job are eligible for a conveyance allowance.
• Some companies may have specific eligibility requirements based on the employee’s position, seniority level, or the distance of the commute.

Taxable vs. Non-Taxable:

• The conveyance allowance is non-taxable for the employee.
• However, if the employer provides a company car for the employee’s use, the use of the company car for commuting may be taxable.

Types of Conveyance Allowance:

• Daily Conveyance Allowance: This is a fixed amount paid for each day of travel.
• Per Mile Allowance: This is a fixed amount paid for each mile traveled.
• Actual Expense Allowance: This allows the employee to receive reimbursement for actual travel expenses, such as fuel, tolls, and parking.

Amount:

• The amount of the conveyance allowance varies depending on the company, industry, and location.
• The federal government sets a maximum limit for the conveyance allowance, but companies can choose to pay more.

Additional Information:

• The conveyance allowance is usually included in the employee’s total salary and wages.
• Some companies may offer a separate allowance for travel expenses, such as hotel and meal allowances.
• The conveyance allowance is a taxable benefit for businesses.

Here are some examples:

• An employee who lives 50 miles from their workplace and travels there by car every day is eligible for a daily conveyance allowance of $20.
• An employee who travels to a client’s office 20 miles from their workplace once a week is eligible for a per mile allowance of $0.50.
• An employee who incurs actual travel expenses of $100 for a business trip is eligible for reimbursement through the actual expense allowance.
