Standard Mileage Rates Issued for 2015
The Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday, December 10th, issued the standard mileage rates for business use of an automobile, and for driving for medical or moving purposes, for 2015. The business use rate will go up from the 2014 rates, while the medical and moving rate is going down.
For business use of a car, van, pickup truck, or panel truck, the 2015 rate will be 57.5 cents per mile, slightly higher than the 56 cents per mile rate that applies for 2014. Driving for medical or moving purposes may be deducted at 23 cents per mile, which is one-half cent lower than for 2014.
The rate for service to a charitable organization is unchanged, set by statute (Sec. 170(i)) at 14 cents a mile.
