According to HMRC, the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rates are: Cars and vans - 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, then 25p per mile. Motorcycles - 24p per mile. Bicycles - 20p per mile. Additionally, you may be able to claim 5p per mile for each passenger carried on business journeys. Always verify current rates on gov.uk.

According to HMRC guidance, you may be able to claim an additional 5p per mile for each passenger you carry on business journeys, provided they are also travelling for business purposes (e.g. colleagues going to the same meeting). This is known as the passenger payment and applies to cars and vans. Verify eligibility with HMRC or a tax professional.

Generally, if you use your personal vehicle for qualifying business journeys, you may be able to claim mileage at HMRC approved rates. These rates are intended to cover fuel, insurance, road tax, MOT, servicing, and depreciation. Commuting to your regular workplace typically does not qualify. Check HMRC guidance for your specific situation.

According to HMRC guidance, business mileage generally includes travel to client sites, meetings away from your normal workplace, travel between different work locations, and deliveries. Commuting from home to your regular place of work typically does not qualify. Your specific circumstances may vary.

HMRC recommends keeping a mileage log recording the date, destination, purpose of the journey, miles travelled, and any passengers carried for business purposes. HMRC may request this evidence if they enquire into your tax return. Consult an accountant for record-keeping requirements.

The 45p per mile rate is the HMRC Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rate for cars and vans for the first 10,000 business miles in a tax year. After 10,000 miles, the rate reduces to 25p per mile. This rate is intended to cover all vehicle running costs.

Self-employed individuals and sole traders may be able to use simplified expenses (flat rate mileage) instead of calculating actual vehicle costs. This uses HMRC published rates to work out allowable expenses. Consult HMRC guidance or an accountant for your specific situation.

Mileage allowance uses flat rates per mile (e.g. 45p for cars) to simplify expense calculations. Actual costs involves tracking real expenses like fuel, insurance, repairs, and depreciation, then claiming the business proportion. You typically cannot switch between methods for the same vehicle. Seek professional advice.

Employees may receive mileage reimbursement from their employer up to HMRC AMAP rates tax-free. If your employer pays less than these rates, you may be able to claim Mileage Allowance Relief (MAR) on the difference through your tax return. Check with HMRC or a tax professional.
