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.
The IRS mileage rate is 50.5 cents per mile, or $50.5. But California requires reimbursement of expenses-not reimbursement of gas! Once the employee figures in oil, wear and tear, insurance, etc., their actual expenses may be significantly higher.ypically, employers conveniently use the IRS rate. But if the IRS rate does not keep up with rising gas prices, especially in high cost areas like California, then an employer is required to provide an auto mileage reimbursement at a rate higher than the IRS rate.
