Mileage Reimbursement for foriegn countries?

Question

We are a government contractor and we have employees in Germany and Korea. When they use their personal vehicles for business, we have been reimbursing them at the standard IRS rate ($.485/mile in 2007). Is there a chart for foriegn countries? The gas is Germany and Korea is almost double the cost in the US.

Thanks

The government doesn't tell you how much to reimburse.  You are free to reimburse as much as you want.  Gas is more expensive, but fuel economy is usually higher since cars are smaller.  I think that rate is fair.
