The University of California’s mileage reimbursement rates for using a private automobile for business are changing, effective Jan. 1.

In accordance with Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rates published in IRS Notice 2014-114, the following new rates are effective for expenses incurred on or after Jan. 1:
