If you are an employee but have to use your own vehicle for business journeys then you can claim mileage.

If the employer pays you for the business miles you do they can pay you up to the HMRC approved rates below – known as Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) without incurring any tax and NIC.

If they reimburse you more than the approved rate the additional amount will be subject to tax and NI.

If they don’t reimburse you at the approved rates or not at all then you can claim tax relief on the difference.

Motorcycles 24p 24p
