Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates
Important notice regarding 2008 rates:
On June 23, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service announced an increase in the mileage reimbursement rate for (1) privately owned automobiles to 58.5 cents per mile and (2) the moving mileage rate to 27 cents per mile. By statute, GSA is required to conduct investigations of the cost of travel and the operation of POVs to employees while engaged on official business. GSA is reviewing data and has started the consultation process required by law before any mileage rate changes are made.
As soon as these processes are complete, any adjustments to the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) POV mileage rates will be immediately published in the Federal Register for official notification. GSA is also in the process of setting forth an FTR bulletin to announce the mileage reimbursement rate increase to 27 cents per mile as applicable to permanent change of station moves, effective July 1, 2008.
By Law, GSA is responsible for reviewing the privately owned vehicle mileage reimbursement mileage rate on a yearly basis. However, by law, GSA may not exceed the standard mileage reimbursement rate for a privately owned automobile (POA) established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
