🚗 Big news for business owners and employees who travel for work...
For the first time in 15 YEARS, HMRC has increased the approved business mileage rate 👏
From 6 April 2026, the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rate increases to:
✅ 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles
✅ 25p per mile after 10,000 miles
This is a long overdue change and could make a real difference for businesses and employees feeling the squeeze from rising fuel and vehicle costs.
If you run payroll and reimburse staff for business travel, now’s the perfect time to review your mileage rates and payroll processes to make sure everything is up to date.
Self employed? Most accounting software should update automatically, but it’s still worth checking your settings and claims are correct 👀
Not sure how this affects your business, payroll, or tax position?
