Mileage rate increase for calendar year 2023
The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-19-7 requires use of the United States General Services Administration rates for mileage when state employees are reimbursed for use of a privately owned vehicle on official travel.
The following rates are applicable to travel that occurs on or after January 1, 2023:
Tier 1 Rates:
Automobile: $ 0.655 per mile
Motorcycle: $ 0.635 per mile
Airplane: $ 1.74 per mile
Tier 2 Rate: $ 0.22 per mile
The mileage reimbursement rate policy has been updated on the State Accounting Office’s website to reflect the 2023 rates. Any agency not on the TeamWorks Travel & Expense System will be responsible for updating the travel expense form.
Any reimbursement of mileage claims paid to an employee in excess of rates published in the mileage reimbursement policy must be refunded to the state or characterized as taxable compensation to the employee.
