Common questions

Quick answers to what UK sole traders and directors ask most.

What is the HMRC mileage rate for cars?

+

From 6 April 2026 (tax year 2026/27), the rate increased to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles — the first rise since 2011. Above 10,000 miles it remains 25p. Before 6 April 2026 the rate was 45p. Motorcycles are 24p and bicycles 20p per mile. MileageClaim applies the correct rate automatically based on journey date.

Can a limited company director claim mileage?

+

Yes. As a director, you can claim mileage reimbursement from your own company when you use your personal vehicle for business travel. At up to 55p/mile for the first 10,000 miles from 6 April 2026, this is tax-free for you personally and a deductible expense for the company — reducing your Corporation Tax bill. MileageClaim generates the mileage log your accountant needs at year-end.

What records do I need for a mileage claim?

+

HMRC requires the date, business purpose, start/end locations, and miles for each journey. You do not need fuel receipts when using the HMRC flat rate. Records should be kept for at least 5 years after the Self Assessment deadline (6 years for limited companies). MileageClaim captures all required fields and generates a structured PDF that meets HMRC's documentation standard.

Is MileageClaim really free?

+

Yes — completely free, no time limit, no credit card required. The Free plan includes 1 business, unlimited journey logging, automatic HMRC rate calculations, tax year reporting, and PDF downloads. A Pro plan (£5/month) and Accountant plan (£15/month) are coming soon. The Free plan will always remain free.
