Mileage Rate Change January 1, 2008

Effective January 1, 2008, the mileage reimbursement rate will change as follows:

 
Type of Mileage Rate Sep 1, 2007 to Dec 31, 2007 Rate Effective Jan 1, 2008
Intercity and travel mileage 48.5 cents/mile 50.5 cents/mile
Non-taxable mileage while moving 20.0 cents/mile 19.0 cents/mile
Taxable mileage while moving 28.5 cents/mile 31.5 cents/mile

The new rates apply to miles driven on or after January 1, 2008. If someone is reimbursed for intercity mileage that occurred in December, they would be reimbursed at the rate that was effective in December (48.5 cents/mile), even if the voucher is processed in 2008.

Employees may document mileage using the appropriate Mileage Report on the Finance AP Travel page. Employees may also use web-based mileage calculators, such as www.mapquest.com, as long as they provide sufficient information about the university purpose of the miles driven.
