Posts tagged ‘Irs Mileage’

I know the current IRS rate for personally owned cars used for business is 50cents/mile. I have a company owned car that I use and get reimbursed 17 cents/mile for business miles. Is that 17 cents a figure that the IRS sets or my company sets? I’m told that it is the IRS but now I am skeptical.

I know that currently the IRS standard for gas mileage reimbursement is .48 cents per mile. Is it mandatory for an employer to reimburse at this amount? What is the IRS intent behind setting the reimbursement amount at this amount? When When I cut reimbursement checks for employees in the firm it seems like a lot of money for driving to and from Office X. The IRS must have intended that the reimbursement cover more than just gas. Does anyone know of specific sources?
