Mileage List
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) establishes a tax ceiling on reimbursement for travel by car. The General Services Administration (GSA) then sets the mileage reimbursement rate for Federal employees at or below that ceiling. Section 25-3-41, Mississippi Code of 1972, mandates that state officers and employees traveling on official business in their private automobiles will be reimbursed at the same rate allowable to federal employees using privately owned vehicles for official federal government travel. The Office of Purchasing and Travel in Jackson must acknowledge the update from GSA, and then advise all Universities of the effective date of the new rate.
The federal government has set the rate of reimbursement to 55.0 cents per mile, effective January 1, 2009. Accordingly, University employees will be reimbursed at that same rate in compliance with Mississippi statutes.
