The IRS recently announced the standard mileage rates to be used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business and charitable purposes in 2013. Longstanding ARRL policy states that we use the business rate determined by the IRS as the rate for reimbursement of mileage incurred by staff and volunteers in service to the organization. Accordingly, the rate for reimbursement for mileage incurred in 2013 will be $0.565 per mile. This is up $0.01 from the rate in 2012. For those interested, the mileage rate used for calculating deductions for charitable purposes remains at $0.14 per mile. I've attached a revised expense reimbursement report form that should be used for travel expenses incurred in 2013 which incorporates the new rate. Please let me know if you have any questions. 73, Barry J.
