duxfan,
Obviously this is all speculation, but as the business owner, and therefore the party paying for the ticket, and therefore paying for the miles, my guess is that you wouldn't be subject to any tax.
As an employee, I don't actually pay for my miles, my employer does. This means that my personal use of those miles could constitute a benefit provided to me by my employer. As you are not an employee, this wouldn't apply.
Again, obviously speculation.
