757.0. "Increased Mileage Reimbursment?" by PATOIS::GRAHAM (Dr. John) Thu Mar 16 1989 12:18

    The IRS allows $.24 per mile for business travel.  Currently DEC
    allows $.225, or at least that's what I've been getting.  Consequently
    I had to figure how many miles I drove last year on business and
    multiply by a penny and a half so as to claim it as an unreimbursed
    business expence on my tax return.  
    
    Does anyone have any idea when DEC is going to increase the mileage
    reimburssment up to $.24?

757.1not yetMELKOR::HENSLEYhappy hacker~Fri Mar 17 1989 21:099
    the last time i checked (lookign for the same change you mention)
    i pulled a copy of the relevent policy.  as of mid-January (i think
    the policy was dated Jan 11, 1989) the reimbursement for business
    miles was still 22.5�/mile.  
    
    the updates to the orange book seem to come quarterly (??), so maybe
    we can expect a change soon (wishful thinking...).

    I've been with DEC for close to 18 years, and the DEC reimbursement
    always has lagged behind the IRS.  (... and yes, I too have played
    the game of multiplying total mileage by pennies to get a little
    extra off my taxes.)
