How Do You Claim the New HMRC Mileage Allowance to Pocket Extra Cash?
If you use your personal vehicle for work-related journeys in the UK, you could be missing out on hundreds of pounds in tax relief. Following recent updates, HMRC officially increased the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rate from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles.
This marks the first rate increase in over a decade. If your employer still reimburses you at the old 45p rate—or fails to pay you mileage allowance entirely—you are legally entitled to claim this financial difference directly back from the government. Here is exactly how to calculate your expenses, track your work journeys, and maximize your tax rebate step by step.
