Re: Authorized Maximum Mileage Rate
Decrease – Effective January 1, 2021
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
The Internal Revenue Service issued the 2021 standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business. Beginning on January 1, 2021 the standard rates for the use of an automobile will be 56.0 cents per mile for business miles driven.
Therefore, I am authorizing automobile mileage allowance consistent with the maximum rate set by the Internal Revenue Service (Notice 2021-02), effective January 1, 2021. The automobile rate will be decreased by one and one-half cents, from 57.5 cents per mile to 56.0 cents per mile.
Fraternally yours,
Jeremy R. Ferguson
