Mileage Rate chance for 2009

Note to churches that reimburse pastors and other church workers for mileage: there is a small decrease in the IRS allowed reimbursable rate. In 2009 the rate will be 55¢ per mile. It has been 58.5¢ per mile for the last half of 2008. Our presbytery recommends reimbursing guest preachers, pastors and other church workers at the IRS rate, so Sessions and church treasurers would want to know of the adjustment.
