UC DAVIS: University Mileage Reimbursement Rate Decrease

December 2, 2002

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRPERSONS, AND CAMPUS/UCDMC ADMINISTRATIVE 
OFFICERS

RE:University Mileage Reimbursement Rate Decrease

The IRS has announced in IRS Revenue Procedure 2002-61 that it is 
decreasing the standard mileage rate for use of a private automobile from 
36.5 cents per mile to 36.0 cents per mile.  The decrease in the mileage 
rate is based on annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating 
an automobile conducted on behalf of the IRS by an independent contractor. 
The change is effective for transportation expenses incurred by employees 
on or after January 1, 2003.

It has been the University's policy to follow the IRS standard mileage rate 
so that mileage reimbursements to employees who travel on University 
business will not result in additional taxable income for those 
employees.  Accordingly, the UC reimbursement rate is set at 36.0 cents per 
mile effective January 1, 2003.

Sincerely,

J. Michael Allred
Associate Vice Chancellor-Finance
