The primary benefit of using a fuel card is how much you’ll save. Through partnerships with fueling stations, drivers gain access to exclusive discounts nationwide. With AtoB, the savings begin as soon as you sign up. Our commercial fuel cards are powered by Visa, so they can be used at any fueling station nationwide, even at local stations or in remote parts of the country. Since drivers can refuel at any pump that accepts Visa, they can pick and choose where to stop—saving valuable time by sticking to their route instead of going out of their way to find an in-network station. And, with an added boost from our Driver App, they can easily locate the best deals near them and map their trip based on the lowest gas prices. The more they refuel, the more you save. 

Whether you’re a big or small business, fleet cards lead to higher savings in the long run. For smaller companies, especially, building a line of credit with a fuel card can help sow the seeds of sustained growth and solvency. AtoB regularly reports to Experian to help our clients build their credit scores and grow their businesses.

Yes, you can still claim a mileage allowance when using company fuel cards. Any mileage accrued while driving for business use qualifies as deductible by the IRS. By using a mileage log, you can ensure accurate reporting when tax season rolls around. Our payroll system provides the tools you need to track miles, expenses, and more, all in one platform. We even provide 1099 tax reporting tools to simplify the process. You can choose to calculate your fleet-specific costs or use the standard mileage rates provided by the IRS. In both cases, a detailed mileage log is essential when reporting expenses. 

You won’t have to pay tax on a fuel card if it’s for your business. Gas that’s used for business purposes is non-taxable. The same can be said for vehicle repairs, part replacements, and tolls related to your business operations. Anything paid for by the company fuel card for personal use, on the other hand, is taxable. This includes fuel that’s used for personal travel and commutes to and from work. 

Because non-businesses expenses are taxable, you’ll want to ensure that your company fuel cards aren’t being misused. With AtoB, you’ll have full control of your cards to ensure drivers properly adhere to your company’s spending policies. Set spending limits and operational hours for your corporate gas cards, and easily track transactions, vehicle routes, and fuel usage in real time on our integrated payroll platform. With security measures like PIN authorization, you’ll be able to protect your accounts and prevent headaches come tax season.
