Hello Listers,

 

Our organization recently had an author travel by car to reach us for an event.  We offered to reimburse him for his travel expenses, but we’re not sure what rate for the mileage we should pay.  Looking at the IRS website, it would seem that standard rate is $.58/mi for businesses and $.14/mi for charities (we’re a 501c3).  I say that this is what he could deduct when doing his taxes, not what we would pay him.  I wouldn’t expect him to both collect from us and deduct, but since we’re paying, is it the same rate?  This is new terrain for us, so we’d be grateful for any guidance.

 

Thanks!
