The IRS increased mileage deduction rates effective July 1, 2026, with the business mileage rate rising to 76 cents per mile (up from the prior midyear level) as gas prices climbed. This change is a modest headwind for cost projections but should slightly improve tax deductibility for eligible business travel. Overall, the update is more policy/administrative than a major market-moving event.
