Reminder: July 1 Changes: New Mileage Reimbursement Rate Goes into Effect; Sales Tax Associated with Agency Purchases Will No Longer Be Reimbursed

Business-related Mileage Reimbursement 

Beginning July 1, 2020, the reimbursement rate for Heartland AEA business-related miles changes to 41 cents per mile. The penny reduction is due to the IRS 2020 business mileage rate dropping from 58 cents to 57.5 cents per mile. If you have any questions about this change, contact Brian Whalen, Business Manager, at ext. 14005. 


Sales Tax Reimbursement 

Beginning July 1, 2020, the Agency will not reimburse sales tax associated with purchases submitted through Expense Online. As a tax-exempt organization, our auditors are critical of the Agency reimbursing sales tax. Keep in mind that vendors (Payless, Amazon) generally deliver within 1-2 business days. To maintain proper internal controls, we prefer purchases go through the Agency’s purchase order process. If you have any questions, contact Brian Whalen, Business Manager, at ext. 14005.
