This deduction can reduce your taxable profit. It is not the amount of tax you save. You generally cannot also claim fuel, servicing and other vehicle running costs for the same vehicle when using simplified mileage rates.

Cars & vans

45p per business mile for the first 10,000 miles in the tax year; 25p for each additional mile.

Motorcycles

24p per business mile, regardless of total distance.

Bicycles

20p per business mile, regardless of total distance.

02 / THE RATES

The simple version of HMRC mileage rates.

These are simplified expense rates for eligible business travel. Claiming mileage requires a reliable journey record, not just an annual total.
