Mileage Reimbursement Rates

FISCAL POLICY & GUIDANCE MEMORANDUM

TO:                  All Departments

FROM:            Leanne M. Marden, Controller         

DATE:             December 26, 2012

SUBJECT:     Change in Mileage Reimbursement Rate—
                           Calendar Year 2013


Effective January 1, 2013, the University’s reimbursement rate for the use of a personal vehicle in the conduct of University business will increase from 55.5 cents to 56.5 cents per mile.  This rate is established in accordance with Board of Trustee Policy T92-031 (Appendix B) and is consistent with the Internal Revenue Service.

For all employee business travel that occurs on or after January 1, 2013, the university’s on-line business expense system will automatically apply the new rate based on dates of travel.  For departments that use the travel expense forms on the Controller’s Office website, we will provide new templates for calendar year 2013 travel. 

Please share this information with employees who travel on university business or who prepare travel expense reports.

Questions about travel arrangements and reimbursements can be directed to Wanda Alston (7-5124) or Elizabeth Samedi (7-5138) in the Controller’s Office.

Visit the Internal Revenue Services website for further detail on Standard IRS Mileage rates (includes moving mileage reimbursement rate).
