e-Alert: IRS Raises Standard Mileage Rate Effective July 1, 2022

By June 27, 2022No Comments

Background

Employers often pay the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a standard mileage rate to employees who use their own vehicles for business-related matters. The IRS typically updates the standard mileage amount each calendar year, however, due to soaring fuel costs, there is a mid-year change.

Summary

For the final 6 months of 2022, the standard mileage rate for business travel will be 62.5 cents per mile, up 4 cents from the rate effective at the start of 2022. The new rate for deductible medical or moving expenses (available for active-duty members of the military) will be 22 cents for the remainder of 2022, up 4 cents from the rate effective at the start of 2022. These new rates become effective July 1, 2022.
