Deadline for the Submission of Traveling Expense Vouchers [General Form No. 8 (A)] Covering Ordinary Travels

July 30, 1975 REVENUE MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 40-75 SUBJECT : Deadline for the Submission of Traveling Expense Vouchers [General Form No. 8 (A)] Covering Ordinary Travels TO : All Internal Revenue Officers and Others Concerned Notwithstanding the issuance of Revenue Memorandum Order No. 7-66 dated January 19, 1966 requiring the submission of all claims for the reimbursement of traveling expense vouchers (TEV) incurred during any month not later than the end of the next succeeding month, many revenue personnel are still submitting their vouchers beyond the aforementioned deadline and in many instances, the vouchers for several months are accumulated and submitted simultaneously. This practice causes not only undue fluctuations in the volume of processing work being done in the National Office but also disturbs the planning of the Bureau's expenditures for budgetary purposes. aisadc The delays in the submission of TEV's are attributed to various reasons, among which are the lack of traveling expense voucher forms, delayed action by approving officials, the inaccessibility of the places of assignment of the claimants, etc. To allow more time for the submission of TEV's for ordinary travels, Revenue Memorandum Order No. 7-66 is therefore amended to extend the deadline for the submission of all claims for the reimbursement of traveling expense vouchers incurred during any month not later than 60 days after the end of the month. It is warned that TEV's for ordinary travels submitted after the 60-days period shall no longer be paid. Regional officials are directed to see to it that the Traveling Expense Voucher forms [General Form No. 8 (A)] are always available and that the vouchers are duly acted upon and transmitted to the National Office within the deadline. Vouchers which are transmitted by the regional offices to the National Office beyond the deadline shall be the responsibility of the regional officials for which they shall be made answerable. This order shall take effect beginning with the August, 1975 TEV's for ordinary travels of revenue personnel. MISAEL P. VERA Commissioner of Internal Revenue TAN 1601-593-5
