On June 9, the IRS announced the 2022 IRS gas mileage rate increase for the second half of the year. Starting on July 1, 2022, mileage for business travel can be expensed at 62.5 cents per mile up from 58.5 cents per mile. This is the first time since 2011 that the IRS has done a mid-year adjustment and the change is due to rising fuel costs. Note that this is the business rate only, other standard rates are unchanged.
