The IRS has announced that the standard mileage reimbursement rate for business travel beginning January 1, 2015 will be 57.5 cents per mile, up 1.5 cents from the 2014 rate. Longstanding ARRL policy is that we use this rate for reimbursement of mileage incurred by staff and volunteers using personally owned vehicles while in service to the organization. Of course, it is always permissible to claim a lower rate. The charitable deduction for unreimbursed mileage remains at 14 cents per mile. David Sumner, K1ZZ Chief Executive Officer
