The IRS Standard Mileage Rate is the rate provided by the IRS for mileage reimbursement for business use of a personal vehicle. In 2015, the rate is 57.5 cents per mile. The rate is a guideline based on average gas prices and average wear and tear on a vehicle (gas reimbursement is a part of this rate). Some people want to know if they can reimburse less than the standard rate. The answer is yes. Others want to know if they can reimburse more.
Sadly, the most common method is not to do it. Employees often feel that the records needed are more effort than theyâre worth. This hassle means many donât include a mileage reimbursement in their expense reports. At 54 cents per mile in 2016, this is a huge mistake and can add up to thousands of dollars per year.
