The State Accounting Office has updated the mileage reimbursement rate for travel by state-owned or personal vehicles. The reimbursement rates are effective for travel on or after Jan. 1, 2018.
When it is determined that a personal vehicle is the most advantageous form of travel, the employee will be reimbursed for business miles traveled at $0.545 per mile (previously $0.535 per mile).
If a personal motor vehicle is not determined to be the most advantageous form of travel, but it is used, the employee will be reimbursed for business miles traveled at $0.18 per mile (previously $0.17 per mile).
The travel expense statement has been modified to reflect these changes. The form is available at http://bit.ly/2Fo3CWF.
The UGA travel policy has been updated and can be viewed at http://bit.ly/2moaVFK.
