Re:  Mileage Reimbursement Rate Changes Effective January 1, 2021

Greetings,

The University’s mileage reimburse rates for expenses incurred in connection with the business use of a private automobile for travel will decrease in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rates published in IRS Notice 2020-279.

The following new rates are effective for expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2021:
  • The reimbursement rate for the use of a private automobile for University business travel will decrease from 57.5 cents a mile to 56 cents a mile.
  • The reimbursement rate for driving or shipping an automobile in connection with a move or relocation will decrease from 17 cents a mile to 16 cents a mile.

Business and Finance Policy G-28, Travel Regulations, will be revised to include the mileage rate changes. If you have any questions please contact Annette Gonzales at (805) 893-7037 or annette.gonzales@bfs.ucsb.edu.

Thank you.
