Re: Mileage Reimbursement Rate Changes Effective January 1, 2024

Greetings,

The University’s mileage reimbursement rates for expenses incurred in connection with the business use of a private automobile will change in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rates published in IRS Notice 2024-08.

The following new rates are effective for expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2024:

• The reimbursement rate for the use of a private automobile for University business travel will increase from 65.5 cents a mile to 67 cents a mile.
• The reimbursement rate for driving an automobile in connection with a move or relocation will decrease by 1 cent to21 cents per mile. (Note that reimbursements for moving-related expenses, including mileage, are considered taxable wage income as of January 1, 2018).

Business and Finance Bulletin G-28, Travel Regulations, will be revised to include the mileage rate change at the next update. Please see the attached letter for more details.

If you have any questions please contact Annette Gonzales at (805) 893-7037 or annette.gonzales@bfs.ucsb.edu.
