HMRC mileage rates 2026/27

HMRC increased the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rate from 45p to 55p per mile for cars and vans from 6 April 2026 — the first increase in 15 years. Self-employed sole traders and employees using their own vehicle for business can claim this rate, which covers fuel, insurance, servicing and depreciation.

Commuting to a regular workplace does not qualify. Only journeys made wholly for business purposes — client visits, travel to temporary workplaces, trips between work locations — can be claimed.

What counts as a business mile?

Business miles include travel to temporary workplaces, client visits, and trips between different work locations. Commuting from home to your regular workplace does not qualify and cannot be claimed.

Mileage Allowance Relief (MAR)

If your employer reimburses you at less than the HMRC AMAP rate, you can claim Mileage Allowance Relief on the shortfall. For example, if you drove 5,000 business miles and your employer paid 25p per mile, you can claim relief on the remaining 30p per mile (5,000 × £0.30 = £1,500). As a basic-rate taxpayer, this saves £300 in income tax.

What if my employer pays more than the HMRC rate?

Employers are not obliged to reimburse at the HMRC AMAP rate — they can pay more or less. However, the AMAP rate is the maximum that can be paid tax-free. If your employer reimburses you above the AMAP rate (for example, 60p per mile when the HMRC rate is 55p), the excess — 5p per mile in this case — is treated as taxable income and must be reported to HMRC. You should check with your employer or a qualified accountant if you are unsure whether your reimbursement rate creates a tax liability.
