Accounting Services Policy Updates

Personal Vehicle Reimbursement

Effective for travel on or after January 1, 2011 , reimbursement for mileage for use of personal vehicles within the state is allowed as follows:

the lesser of the Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rate established by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for an automobile if no Government Owned Vehicle is available, OR the standard mileage rate allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.

As an example: On January 1, 2011, the GSA website showed $0.55 per mile and the IRS showed a rate of $0.51 per mile, therefore, the allowable mileage rate would be $0.51 per mile. By law, the GSA mileage rate cannot exceed the IRS mileage rate, but the GSA does not update their website until later in the year. Previous mileage rates/periods are published on their website. Use the rate applicable to when the travel occurred.
