S Corp business mileage reimbursements

I own a single-member LLC taxed as an S Corp. I pay myself a salary as a W2 employee and take distributions. I have an accountable plan set up for reimbursements.

For vehicle reimbursements (mileage) I know the S Corp can reimburse me at the standard mileage rate. Can the S Corp also reimburse for Auto Loan interest and registration (personal property tax) at the business use percentage? So if the business uses the car 75% of the time and the auto loan interest was $100 and the registration was $100 those would both be reimbursed at $75?

I see it in some of the older spreadsheets but don't see any mention of it elsewhere.

The standard mileage rate is a rate set by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to be used by taxpayers to calculate the allowable deduction for using business automobiles. The rate includes the costs of wear and tear, insurance, gas, oil, license and other registration fees, as well as other maintenance and repair expenses.

 

you can not mix the standard mileage rate with actual expenses
