2015 Mileage Rate Increased to 57.5 cents per mile

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

The Internal Revenue Service issued the 2015 standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business.  Beginning on January 1, 2015 the standard rates for the use of a car will be 57.5 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 2014-79 in IRB 2014-53), effective January 1, 2015.  The automobile rate will be increased by one and one-half cent, from 56 cents per mile to 57.5 cents per mile.

Fraternally Yours,

John Previsich

President-Transportation Division
