The IRS normally revises mileage rates at the end of the year for the upcoming tax year, taking into consideration the fixed and variable costs of owning and driving a vehicle in the United States.

What caused the rate increase

The IRS cites the increasing fuel prices in the US this year as the reason for the new rate. See more about the original IRS mileage rate 2022 that applied from January 1 to June 30 2022, or if you are claiming mileage for the previous year, see the IRS mileage rate 2021.

With the new mileage rate for business, you can receive reimbursement or deduction of up to 62.5 cents per mile for work-related driving with your personal vehicle from July 1. If you have to drive in order to receive medical treatments you might be eligible for a tax deduction of 22 cents per mile, as well as if you are moving while on active duty in the Force. Qualified mileage accrued in service of charitable organisations will give a tax deduction of 14 cents per mile.
