Claiming business mileage using a private vehicle
An individual using their personal car for business purposes can receive reimbursement based on the approved mileage rates set by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The reimbursement amount is calculated by multiplying the number of miles driven by the applicable rate for the vehicle type and distance travelled.
Current mileage rates per mile
| Year | Cars and vans (first 10,000 miles) | Cars and vans (over 10,000 miles) | Motorcycles | Bicycles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | £0.45 | £0.25 | £0.24 | £0.20 |
| 2024 | £0.45 | £0.25 | £0.24 | £0.20 |
| 2023 | £0.45 | £0.25 | £0.24 | £0.20 |
The rates are set according to the HMRC Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) scheme.
Reimbursement can be paid based on a record of business journeys maintained by the employee or self-employed individual.
