The Internal Revenue Service recently announced
an increase in
the optional standard mileage rates for the
final six months of 2008.
Taxpayers may use the optional standard rates
to calculate the
deductible costs of operating an automobile for
business, charitable,
medical or moving purposes.
The rate will increase to 58.5 cents a mile for
all business miles
driven from July 1, 2008, through Dec. 31,
2008. This is an increase
of eight (8) cents from the 50.5 cent rate in
effect for the first six
months of 2008, as set forth in
Rev. Proc. 2007-70.
In recognition of recent gasoline price
increases, the IRS made
this special adjustment for the final months of
2008. The IRS
normally updates the mileage rates once a year
in the fall for the

IRS Increases Mileage Rates Through December 31,

next calendar year.
The new six-month rate for computing deductible
medical or
moving expenses will also increase by eight (8)
cents to 27 cents a
mile, up from 19 cents for the first six months
of 2008. The rate for
providing services for charitable organizations
is set by statute, not
the IRS, and remains at 14 cents a mile.
