HMRC mileage rate just went up.
The Chancellor announced it today, the approved mileage rate has increased from 45p to 55p per mile, backdated to April 2026.
It hadn’t changed since 2011.
Here’s what this means for you:
✅ If you use your own car for work, you can now claim 55p per mile (first 10,000 miles) ✅ If you’re an employer, you need to update what you reimburse staff ✅ If you’ve already claimed at 45p this tax year, you may be owed the difference ✅ Self-employed? This applies to your business mileage too
Make sure your payroll and expense records are updated to reflect the new rate.
