The IRS standard rate for auto milage in 2014 is 56 cents per mile for business miles. That shows that traveling from twenty five miles away for a 50-mile round trip is worth 28 dollars against your caller income for the evening, when filing your taxes at year end. CDS Boston had a modest policy for its English Country Dance performers to pay a modest additional amount, somewhere around $15 or so for more distant travelers, those traveling from above 25 or 30 miles I believe. This was done because their payments were pretty modest, in the vicinity of $60 to $70 an evening per performer. ~ Mark Jones On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 3:56 PM, Rickey Holt via Organizers <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:
