IRS Increases Standard Mileage Rates for Last Half of 2022 Envista Holdings

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Envista Holdings Envista Holdings does not have a publicly listed healthcare provider; instead, employees typically receive health insurance benefits through various commercial insurance plans. As a significant player in the dental products and technology industry, Envista provides its workforce with access to adequate healthcare services, albeit the specific insurers may differ based on the plans offered. Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, Envista Holdings employees may face significant increases in healthcare costs due to rising premiums and shifting employer strategies. With anticipated healthcare premium hikes in the ACA marketplace often exceeding 60% in critical areas, employees are advised to prepare for potential impacts on their out-of-pocket expenses. The expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies may further exacerbate these financial challenges, pushing many employees to shoulder more substantial costs unless proactive steps are taken to manage their health benefits effectively. As a result, understanding upcoming changes in health plans and optimizing their choices for 2026 will be crucial in navigating this evolving landscape. Click here to learn more

Due to recent increases in the price of petroleum, the Internal Revenue Service has increased the optional standard mileage rates for calculating the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, medical, and relocating purposes for the second half of 2022. Statutorily established and unaltered, the standard mileage rate used to calculate the deductible costs of operating a vehicle for charitable purposes.

For July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, the standard mileage rates are as follows:

Business use of auto : Our Envista Holdings customers may find this to be especially advantageous. If a vehicle is used for business purposes, a deduction of 62.5 cents per mile (increased from 58.5 cents for January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022) is allowed. As an Envista Holdings employee, your employer may reimburse you for business-related travel expenses at the per-mile rate. Nevertheless, if Envista Holdings does not reimburse you for business-related travel expenses, you cannot deduct these costs as miscellaneous itemized deductions.
Charitable use of auto : 14 cents per mile (the same as for January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022) may be deducted if a vehicle is used to provide services to a charitable organization if you itemize your deductions on your tax return. Depending on the type of charity, your charitable deduction may be limited to a certain percentage of your adjusted gross income. We would like Envista Holdings customers to be aware of this.
Medical use of auto : 22 cents per mile (increased from 18 cents per mile for January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022) may be deducted if a vehicle is used to obtain medical care (or for other deductible medical purposes) if you itemize your deductions on your tax return. Also essential for Envista Holdings customers to remember is that you can only deduct the portion of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.

Moving expense : 22 cents per mile (increased from 18 cents per mile for January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022) may be deducted if an auto is used by an active-duty member of the Armed Forces to move to a permanent change of station pursuant to a military order (unless such expenses are reimbursed). The moving expense deduction is not presently available to other taxpayers.

The IRS typically revises the standard mileage rates in the autumn for the following calendar year. Rarely does the IRS increase the standard mileage rates in the middle of the year; the last time this occurred was in 2011.

According to a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on September 20, 2022, it's worth noting that the standard mileage rate for business use of an automobile has increased to 62.5 cents per mile for the second half of 2022. This rate can be particularly advantageous for Envista Holdings workers who frequently use their personal vehicles for business-related purposes. It allows them to potentially claim higher deductions for their mileage expenses when calculating their tax returns. This increase reflects the rising costs of fuel and vehicle operation, offering some relief to individuals who rely on their vehicles for work-related travel.
