Standing Order 131 reads: "The rate allowable for reimbursement of automobile travel on League business is equivalent to that prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service as the amount which is not taxed as income under their current regulations." The IRS has announced that beginning Jan. 1, 2005, the standard mileage reimbursement rate for the use of a car (including vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be 40.5 cents per mile. The announcement notes that this is the largest one-year increase ever. See http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=131232,00.html. Accordingly, we will reimburse up to 40.5 cents per mile for travel beginning January 1, 2005. If a lesser amount is claimed we will reimburse the lesser amount.
