[BAO news for travel administrators]

Good Morning Travel Coordinators:

High-Low City per diems:  We have received the annual IRS notice of updates to the high-low substantiation table that we utilize for per diem travel reimbursement rates within the Continental United States.

Hotels:  The new Low City per diem allowance for lodging will be $128 (up from $120) starting Jan. 1, 2016.  The High City per diem allowance is $207 (up from $194).  We will be updating the spreadsheet on our UO travel webpage and will have it posted soon.  Several cities have been removed from the High City list for 2016 including:  Sedona, AZ; Santa Cruz, CA; New Orleans, LA; Baltimore City, MD; Cambridge/St. Michaels, MD; Glendive/Sidney, MT; Conway, NH; Glens Falls, NY; Tarrytown/White Plains/ New Rochelle, NY; Kill Devil, NC; Williston, NC.

Meals:  Starting in 2016 the Low City Meal and Incidental per diem is $57 (up from $52) and the High City Meal and Incidental per diem increases to $68 (up from $65).

Mileage Reimbursement:  UO follows the General Services Administration (GSA) in the setting of mileage reimbursement rates which is currently 57.5 cents per mile for personal vehicle usage.  There have been no announcements to date regarding any changes for 2016.

Please let the travel office know if  you have any questions.
