Traveling for business or for personal reasons both imply expenses. For personal travel, the expenses are paid by your own pocket while if you are an employee then your organization is responsible for bearing the spending. On the other hand, if you are running a business then you have to make a budget which you are going to spend when any business-oriented travel is unavoidable.

Maintaining and assessing a travel-related budget needs a precise travel expense list to find out the amount you need to save as a traveling fund. The report includes a mileage log displaying the number of miles covered in that particular journey and what expenses are occurring to cover those mileages, for example, fuel charges, accommodation, and food.

A compiled travel expense report with a mileage log is a document that has to be presented to the financial department. The finance personnel then prepare a budget with the tax issues to keep the business running in an organized way.

Preparing the travel expense report with a mileage log has been made easy via free travel expense templates available on various websites. Microsoft office has also designed the log to ease the working, so if you are planning a business tour, just download the template and customize it according to your requirement to present it comprehensively before the finance department. The report is designed with categories like airfare, fuel charges in columns, while the department and name of the employer are also listed above in an adept style. Download the template that suits your business and prepares your report.
