Updating the Rate for a Mileage Expense Category

"Mileage" is a distance based expense reimbursement to an employee if they use their private vehicles for business-related travel. The amount is typically based on a fixed rate per mile/kilometer and is date-sensitive based on the date selected on the expense item. That means if users choose a date in 2017, they'll get the 2017 rate. If, on or after 1/1/2018, they choose  date in 2018, they'll get the 2018 rate.

Administrators can update new mileage rates when issued with the new rate and effective date of the rate. 

Note: if using the standard Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Nexonia will automatically update the mileage rate settings with the new yearly rate and effective date of the rate.
