Mileage Rate Change
No Change to Maximum Mileage Rate
The Internal Revenue Service periodically updates the maximum
mileage rate that employers can reimburse employees for
business-related use of their own personal vehicle. However, the
IRS recently announced that the current rate of 55.5 cents per
mile, which has been in effect since July 1, 2011, would
continue to be in effect in calendar year 2012 until further
notice.
The Mileage Report that may be used to document reimbursable
mileage is located on the
AP travel website.
If you have any questions about the mileage rate, please contact
Sandra Silva (3-5883 or
ssilva@central.uh.edu) or Edwin
Rodas (3-8961 or
