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.
