Cardata’s Tax-Free Vehicle Allowances
Vehicle allowances can seem straightforward, but without proper compliance, they are considered income. This means taxes! Let’s change that.


Reimburse flexibly, reduce your tax, stay compliant
A tax-free car allowance (TFCA) is an IRS-compliant method of reimbursement that enables organizations to offer a fixed reimbursement component to their drivers with the potential to be 100% tax-free.
Benefits of TFCAs
- Reimburse fairly and competitively using real market data
- Limited compliance regulations, simply capture your business miles
- Build rates based on mileage estimates to avoid tax risk
- Reduce spend variability by maintaining a fixed portion to your reimbursements
Which IRS program seems right for you?
FAVR
The most popular program choice, a fixed-and-variable-rate (FAVR) program allows you to remain compliant while offering tax-free reimbursements to your drivers over the IRS standard rate.
TFCA
With fewer compliance requirements than FAVR, this program allows you to offer fair market reimbursements in a flat allowance or a fixed-and-variable format, tax-free up to the IRS standard rate.
CPM
A cents-per-mile (CPM) program is great for occasional drivers. Pay on a per-mile basis using Cardata’s mobile app and service suite to reimburse your drivers with ease.
