Mileage allowances
Changes to the HM Revenue & Customs business mileage rates are announced from time to time.
The current effective rates from 1 February 2007 are:
| Vehicle | First 10,000 miles | Thereafter |
|---|---|---|
| Car / Van | 40p | 25p |
| Motorcycle | 24p | 24p |
| Bicycle | 20p | 20p |
| Car – fuel only advisory rates | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine capacity | Petrol | Diesel | LPG |
| up to 1400cc | 9p | 9p | 6p |
| 1401 - 2000cc | 11p | 9p | 7p |
| Over 2000cc | 16p | 12p | 10p |
The HM Revenue & Customs advisory rates can be applied as a tax-free maximum rate for employees claiming for petrol used on business journeys and for employees reimbursing their employers with the cost of petrol used for private journeys. HM Revenue & Customs will consider claims for a higher maximum rate, if it can be demonstrated that it is necessary for an employee to use a car with higher than average fuel costs.
