🚗 BUSINESS OWNERS & SELF-EMPLOYED - IMPORTANT UPDATE 🚗

HMRC has increased the approved business mileage allowance rate from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles 🚨

✅ Effective from 6 April 2026
✅ Applies to cars & vans
✅ Mileage over 10,000 miles remains at 25p per mile

This is the first increase in over 15 years and could mean valuable additional tax relief or higher allowable business expenses for many businesses and self-employed workers.

📌 Don’t forget accurate record keeping is essential!

Make sure you keep:
✔️ Date of each journey
✔️ Start and destination locations
✔️ Purpose of the trip
✔️ Number of business miles travelled
✔️ Vehicle details
✔️ Mileage logs or app reports
✔️ Receipts for parking & tolls (where applicable)

Good records = smoother bookkeeping and protection if HMRC ever asks questions.

If you need help updating your mileage claims or bookkeeping processes, now is a good time to review them.

📊 Learn basic reports (they’re not as scary as they look)

Focus on just three:
Profit & Loss (are you making money?)
Cash Flow (can you pay bills?)
Balance Sheet (what do you own vs owe?)

You don’t need to be an accountant - just understand the story they tell

💭Bookkeeping Tip

Set aside money for taxes regularly

Don’t wait until the deadline. A common approach is to save 20–30% of income in a separate account so you’re never caught off guard.

💭Bookkeeping Tip:

Stay on top of your bookkeeping weekly (not yearly!)

Set aside 30 - 60 minutes each week to:
🔸 Categorise transactions
🔸 Reconcile accounts
🔸 Chase unpaid invoices

Leaving it until year-end turns a small task into a major project.
