Ladies and Gentlemen:
Recently, the Internal Revenue Service announced the standard
mileage rates to be used for calendar year 2009. According to our current
policy, the ARRL will reimburse mileage at the IRS optional rate of 55 cents
per mile for travel in the new year. I’ve attached a new expense
reimbursement form to be used for 2009 travel which incorporates this mileage
rate.
For you information, the IRS, once again, left the deduction
for mileage incurred while in service to a not-for-profit organization at 14
cents per mile.
