IRS Standard Mileage Rate for 2015

Written By: Melissa C. Marsh, Esq., California Attorney, December 2015 Add to Favorites

Beginning January 1, 2015, the IRS standard mileage rate deduction for business use of a vehicle is 57.5 cents per mile, up one and a half cents from the 2014 IRS mileage rate of 56 cents per mile.

Pursuant to California Labor Code §2802, California employers are required to reimburse employees for all expenses incurred by the employee in performing their duties, including expenses for travel, dining, and mileage (other than to and from work/home). The employee cannot agree to waive this right to receive reimbursement.

The California Labor Commissioner has also stated that any California employer who reimburses its employees at less than the standard IRS mileage rate (57.5 Cents per mile as of 1/1/2015) will have to prove that the employee’s actual expenses were in fact less than the standard IRS mileage rate, or be subject to liability for the difference.
