[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IRS rate is not the "federal standard"- it is the maximum an employer can reimburse you for gas without that reimbursement being considered additional income for tax purposes.  Most employers do pay this amount, and it is what I would ask for, but keep in mind that you are asking for the maximum.  Depending on your vehicle, the actual cost of wear and tear is probably less, so your employer may reasonably opt to pay for actual expenses instead.[/quote]

Actually, that is what they called it on the website that I was looking at. Some add Federal to it but even the IRS calls them the STANDARD MILEAGE RATES. They also state on the IRS site "This rate is also used as a benchmark by the federal government...". What is the definition of benchmark? "A standard or point of reference against which things may be compared or assessed." So yet again, STANDARD mileage rate.

You will notice that I actually SAID in my post that it could be more or less for actual expenses, and if people wanted to reimburse for actual expenses instead that is also another route you can take... But that can get very complicated as to what is covered in your contract and keeping track of it all. Which is why most people just use this rate.[/quote]
