Mileage Reimbursement Rate Change

ACCES-VR assists individuals with transportation expenses so they may participate in vocational rehabilitation (VR) services. ACCES-VR may reimburse partial cost of using a personally owed vehicle if public transportation is not available and/or the individual’s disability prevents him/her from using public transportation.

Effective immediately, the mileage reimbursement rate will be 50 percent of the “NYS Maximum Mileage Reimbursement Rate for Personal Car Mileage (PCM)”. The current mileage reimbursement rate is 53.5 cents and may be verified at the following link to the NYS Mileage Reimbursement Rate for personal vehicles.

ACCES-VR is changing the rate to ensure that the total expenditures for transportation are sustainable for the increased number of individuals we are serving.

Existing authorizations with end dates on or prior to June 30, 2017 for transportation mileage reimbursement can be retained. Authorizations with end dates after June 30 should be cancelled and reauthorized. All new authorizations and reauthorizations must apply the new rate.

M&T authorized for bus &/or subway will continue to be authorized for the actual cost.

New York Mileage Reimbursement: Rates and Rules

Introduction

New york has no statal mileage reimbursement requirements, new york state and the internal revenue service’s cents per mile rate, new york average reimbursement, how to keep records of business travel expenses for new york state tax compliance, follow us on linkedin.

New York has been the economic hub of the nation since its founding (and even before that, as it was the seat of the Iroquois and Algonquin nations prior to Dutch settlement in 1614.) With the Erie Canal connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, New York State quickly became the lodestar guiding the settlement and founding of America, as well as home to its main industrial, economic, and population centers.[1]

New York was the home of the nation’s first steamboat, its first rail service[2], and today still serves as an locus for the vast network of flight routes, automobiles, and highways that connect the cities of the Eastern Seaboard.

That means that millions of miles are driven per annum by salespeople, freight workers, logistical professionals, and distributors to serve the economic needs of the Empire State. And that’s probably why you’re reading this article today—to figure out how to adequately compensate your employees and drivers for the time they spend on the road on your behalf.

The first and most important piece of information you need to know about New York and its statal requirements for mileage reimbursement is that the Empire State hasn’t set any. That’s right: New York State doesn’t have a mileage reimbursement rate set for the state.

Furthermore, there are no labor or tax laws that specifically mandate employers to compensate employees for miles driven in their personal vehicles for work.

However, while the letter of the law suggests you have carte blanche to compensate your employees as little as you please, that isn’t a realistic option for employers in 2023. While there are no specific legal requirements dictating that you must offer a vehicle allowance or mileage reimbursement rate to your sales teams and distributors, it will be difficult to hire competent and reliable salespeople and distribution agents without one.

Your employees work hard to represent your company, and they shouldn’t have to pay out-of-pocket for the gas they use and depreciation expenses their personally-owned vehicles accrue while on the job—and many won’t, if your competitors offer a better arrangement.

So even though there isn’t any law on the books compelling you to set a mileage reimbursement rate for your drivers, there are standards to meet and to expect, and this is one of them. More on that below.

Like with other states in this series of blog posts, absent a more complex reward structure such as a FAVR program , you are free to offer your workers that drive in New York State a Cents per Mile rate at or below the federal mileage reimbursement rate set by the Internal Revenue Service.

(That rate, for 2023, was 65.5 cents per mile[3], and we’ll see whether or not the IRS raises, maintains, or lowers the 2024 rate at their annual announcement in December of 2023.)

Here’s why you might choose to stick close to the IRS federal rate:

• It’s good enough for State employees and agencies. Here’s a document[4] from the office of the New York State Comptroller that explains that “New York State reimburses employees for business use of a personal vehicle based on the standard mileage allowance established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).” So, if you want to be competitive with public reimbursements, it could be a good idea to match.
• Adhering to the Cents per Mile rate guarantees your payments are exempt from federal, state, and payroll taxes. This equals less of a tax burden on your company and your employees, which is something everyone is grateful for at the end of a fiscal reporting period. This is a difference from taxed allowances . N.B., These payments are tax-free so long as they do not exceed the IRS cents per mile rate. Any cent per mile above the IRS rate will be taxed as though it were income.
• The reporting and logging of miles and expenses is relatively straightforward. Offering your employees the option of reimbursement of actual expenses is always available, but it requires a great deal of paperwork. The IRS offers the Cents per Mile rate as a fair compromise between the need to document and justify all work expenses and a relatively relaxed version of that need—the need only to log odometer readings, the business purpose of the trip, and the exact route driven.

Buyer beware! There are times when the IRS Cents per Mile rate is not ideal for your workforce. Check out this video to see when that is:

Cardata estimates that the average car allowance for New York State is higher than the $600 national average. New York State is far away from the fuel-producing Gulf states, imports more food than it grows, and has a higher cost of living due to the economic activity in the state.

Because the Empire State is the third most economically productive state[6] according to GDP per capita, this naturally results in higher fluctuations in local pricing, as demand will always stay closely aligned to supply in such a market.

This of course will change according to several variables, those related to your specific business operations. But you can estimate that the payment will be above the national average without much room for doubt.

Since New York has no specific requirements on the books for employers, we can defer to the federal guidelines for adequate record-keeping to ensure compliance and avoid headaches in the case of an audit or inspection.

Those requirements are:[7]

Timely-kept records . It doesn’t matter whether you use a mileage-tracking app or a paper log, but all evidence of business travel must be logged within 30 days except in very special circumstances.

Explanation of business purposes of trips . You cannot claim miles driven to and from your place of work, as those are considered commuting expenses. You must record in your log the purpose of each trip and how it related to your employment duties.

Regular reporting of records to a supervisor. Records for all drivers must be turned in to a supervisor each month for review and reported to the IRS during the annual reporting period.

Documentary evidence. All claims and deductions made must be supported by documentary evidence, which includes geolocation data, miles recorded by an app’s odometer, receipts for purchases, and other supporting documentation. While you don’t need all of this material, you do need some of it to prove your deduction claims. This becomes very helpful in the case of an audit.

(These rules are those of publication 463 and pertain directly to Accountable Allowances —however, they are good general accounting practices as well. There are more rules for FAVR programs that you should learn about before implementing a Fixed and Variable Rate program .)

In conclusion, you are free to offer your employees living or driving in New York State any vehicle reimbursement rate; one that matches the maximum cents per mile rate set by the IRS or a FAVR or Accountable Allowance program; and as long as you keep the proper records, as noted above, this payment will be considered tax-free on both a state and federal level.

The right reimbursement program goes a long way to attracting top sales talent and reliable drivers to get your product to market. It also saves you from the insurance and legal liability that you would be exposed to with a fleet of company cars , as well as managing the depreciation costs and maintenance of individual vehicles. All in all, it’s a pretty good deal.

• I'm interested in:

Primary Destination

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government-related facility (whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and/or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.

Meals & Incidentals

The separate amounts for breakfast, lunch and dinner listed in the chart are provided should you need to deduct any of those meals from your trip voucher. For example, if your trip includes meals that are already paid for by the government (such as through a registration fee for a conference), you will need to deduct those meals from your voucher. Refer to Section 301-11.18 of the Federal Travel Regulation for specific guidance on deducting these amounts from your per diem reimbursement claims for meals furnished to you by the government. Other organizations may have different rules that apply for their employees; please check with your organization for more assistance.

First & Last Day of Travel

This column lists the amount federal employees receive for the first and last calendar day of travel. The first and last calendar day of travel is calculated at 75 percent.

New York lawmakers approve $237 billion state budget. Here's what it includes.

NEW YORK -- New York lawmakers approved a $237 billion state budget Saturday.

In a series of posts on X , Gov. Kathy Hochul highlighted parts of the budget, adding, "We got all of this done without raising income taxes by a single cent ."

The budget was finalized about three weeks after its April 1 deadline.

What is in the New York state budget?

Here's some of what the state budget includes:

• $2.4 billion to fund housing, legal services and health care for migrants in New York City
• Extending to-go alcohol sales for state restaurants and bars for another five years
• New tax breaks for developers who agree to offer some apartments below market price
• Policies that would allow local enforcement to more easily shut down unlicensed cannabis shops
• Extending mayoral control of New York City schools for two more years
• Measures that would offer paid prenatal leave and end co-pays for insulin
• Sammy's Law, which will allow New York City to lower its speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph
• Expediting the closure of up to five state prisons

The state Senate and Assembly finished working through the state's several budget bills on Saturday after hours of debate. The spending plan now moves to Gov. Kathy Hochul to be signed into law, which she is expected to do.

Shutting down illegal pot shops in NYC

Lawmakers moved to address  the explosion of unlicensed cannabis storefronts in New York City . Bureaucratic hurdles have made it difficult for the state to shut down the shops.

To help solve the problem, the budget includes policies that would  allow local law enforcement to padlock shops  accused of selling marijuana without a license. The shops would be forced stay closed throughout the subsequent legal process.

"You can appeal the fine. You'll get your due process, but while the due process plays out, the padlock stays on," Hochul said.

Previously, most enforcement could only be done by the state, and such stores were able to stay open while a lengthy appeals process played out.

Hochul has said the illegal pot shops across New York City are hurting legitimate dispensaries , which -- unlike unlicensed shops -- contribute to the state's 13% marijuana sales tax.

"I mean, you know, the state want to get their money. They want to get their tax dollars, so we're here and they're collecting tax dollars from us, so they don't want the other shops around," said Darius Conner, manager of Smacked Village.

Everything in Smacked Village is tightly regulated and made in New York.

"People want to know what they're smoking, what they're consuming," Conner said.

Below market-priced apartments in new N.Y. buildings

The negotiations, which were conducted in private between the governor and top legislative leaders, largely hinged on a sweeping proposal to jumpstart the state's housing market.

The plan gives a tax break for developers who agree to offer a portion of apartments in new buildings for prices that are below market price and includes a wage standard for laborers on those projects.

The state had a similar tax break, but it expired in 2022. Hochul and other supporters have long argued such an incentive is a vital lure for development, though critics have argued it is too costly and favorable to developers.

As part of the housing deal, progressives also got long sought-after legislation that would provide some tenants with protections against unreasonable rent increases and evictions, though it was not as comprehensive as many advocates had wanted.

Some housing advocates complained about the tax break offered for developers.

"Governor Hochul did not solve the housing crisis – instead she pushed through a housing deal written by the real estate industry to ensure they keep getting richer off the backs of hardworking tenants," Cea Weaver, the coalition director for Housing Justice for All, said in a statement.

Mayoral control of New York City Public Schools

New York City Mayor Eric Adams had originally pushed for a four-year extension of mayoral control of city schools, but lawmakers opted for a shorter two-year extension, taking into consideration the fact that Adams' term is up in 2025.

In a statement Saturday, Adams thanked the governor and the Legislature for "delivering for our students and allowing me and Chancellor Banks to continue to provide bold and necessary programs for the betterment of our children."

The statement continued:

"We will continue to partner with the nearly 1 million students, their families, my colleagues in government, the unions representing school personnel, and the entire New York City community to provide an education system free from bureaucracy and one that allots them the certainty they deserve, provides historic investments in our schools, and changes the way we approach learning in New York City."

New York City's mayor has been in control of the school system, including picking the schools chancellor, since 2002 when then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg convinced the state Legislature to enact the policy. Since then, there have been improvements in graduation rates, as well as reading and math scores.

The extension of mayoral control comes just weeks after  an evaluation by the state education department found parents and teachers feel left out of decision-making in schools . Adams criticized the report.

Senate Passes 2024-25 Budget Addressing Critical Priorities for New Yorkers & Enacting Key Majority Proposals

File New York State Senate Majority Passes SFY 2024-25 Budget Addressing Critical Priorities for New Yorkers & Enacting Key Senate Ma

(Albany, NY) — The New York State Senate is proud to announce the successful passage and enactment of the New York State budget, a testament to the dedication and tireless efforts of the Senate Majority in delivering meaningful relief and progress for the people of New York. This comprehensive budget reflects the Senate Majority’s commitment to addressing the pressing needs of working individuals and families, safeguarding public education, and implementing a holistic approach to housing reform and affordability.

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said, “The enactment of this budget represents a significant step forward in advancing the Senate Majority’s vision for a fairer and more prosperous New York. By prioritizing the needs of working families and investing in critical areas such as affordability, education, housing, environment and healthcare, the Senate Majority remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering tangible results and building a brighter future for all New Yorkers. I thank Governor Hochul, Speaker Heastie and all of my colleagues for their dedication and collaboration in delivering this vital budget. I am confident that this budget will make a meaningful difference in the lives of New Yorkers across the state.”

Senate Majority Deputy Leader Mike Gianaris said, “The State Senate worked hard to build a budget that serves our communities and delivers tangible benefits for New Yorkers. I am proud we achieved important policy priorities, including my proposals to provide additional funding for school security to combat increasing hate crimes, and improved reliability on public transit and express bus routes. The restoration of education aid was also a victory for students throughout the state. Though this budget reflects progress in tackling the decades-long housing crisis, that work remains unfinished and more remains to be done to further protect tenants and find comprehensive solutions to our affordability crisis.”

Finance Committee Chair Senator Liz Krueger said, “As is always the case, we did not get everything we wanted in this final budget, but it represents progress for the people of New York across many important areas. We have defended schools across the state against drastic cuts while laying the groundwork for long-term solutions on school funding and mayoral control; we have taken steps toward protecting all tenants in the state and supporting new affordable housing development; we have eased the tax burden and the child care burden for working families; we have given localities new tools to stop illegal cannabis shops; and we have successfully restored clean water and environmental funding. I thank Leader Stewart-Cousins and my colleagues for their dedication and collaboration, and I particularly thank all our staff for their tireless work throughout this extended budget process.”

Carrying on the proud legacy of being the “education conference,” the Senate Democratic Majority ensured that no cuts would be made to school funding, and that kids across the state would still receive the investments that they both need and deserve. Thanks to the Democratic Conference’s advocacy, this year’s budget will also include transformative investments in higher education to make continued learning more accessible These wins include: 

School Funding

• Rejecting the Executive’s proposal to eliminate Hold Harmless and also increasing Foundation Aid for the poorest 63 districts in the State. This is a Foundation Aid increase of $934 million, or 3.9 percent, over the current school year, which is an increase of $430 million, or 1.8 percent, over the Executive’s Foundation Aid proposal.
• A Comprehensive Study by The Rockefeller Institute and NYS Department of Education to develop a modernized school funding formula.
• $180 million to continue our historic commitment to providing universal school meals for thousands of New York children.

In this year’s state budget, the Senate Democratic Conference continued its efforts to ensure New York remains affordable and opportunity-filled for working and middle class families to put down roots. This year, those measures included:

• A historic $350 million for a new supplemental tax credit for families eligible for the Empire State Child Tax Credit to provide direct support to working families, and continues to implement the lowest Middle-Class Tax rate in over 70 years, saving average New Yorkers millions of dollars.

• Empire AI, a pioneering consortium to develop and inaugurate a cutting-edge artificial intelligence computing center in Buffalo, with statewide partners to ensure New York’s leadership in the burgeoning AI space. 
• It will create a personal income and corporate franchise tax credit for certain qualifying, independently owned print media or broadcasting entities, including those that have experienced workforce or circulation decline in the last five years.
