Officers, Directors and Vice Directors:
On December 3rd, the IRS announced the standard
mileage rates to be used for calculating the deductible costs for operating a
motor vehicle in 2010. In accordance with ARRL policy, we will use this rate to
reimburse volunteers for the use of personal automobiles while on League business.
Beginning January 1, 2010, the rate we will use for reimbursement
of mileage is 50 cents per mile. This is a decrease from the 2009 rate of 55
cents per mile. I’ve enclosed an updated expense reporting form in Excel
format to be used for travel on or after January 1, 2010 which incorporates the
new rate.
The IRS left the rate for charitable driving unchanged at 14
cents per mile.
