HMRC's business mileage rate for 2022?

The mileage rate for the 2023/2024 tax year is as follows.
■ 45p for the first 10,000 miles for business purposes.
■ 25p for each business mile after the first 10,000 miles.
■ 20p per mile for cyclists
Trips that can be claimed for reimbursement ?
You can claim a mileage tax refund for any trips you took for business/work purposes. Some examples of trips you can claim reimbursement for in 2024:
■ Travelling to meet a client for work
■ Travelling from your office to another work location for a job
■ Travelling to a conference
What information do I need for a mileage tax rebate?
To start, you would need proof of identity such as a passport or driving license and proof of address such as a bank statement or a utility bill. Tax refunds are available for all employees who are mobile workers, whether they are working as a delivery driver, gas engineer, mobile carer, security guard, professional athlete and more. We are able for those who are eligible to go back four years. The average 4-year refund is £2,000.
• Payslips
• P60 and P45s List of bases, including dates you were there
• Any courses you have to attend and pay for yourself.
• Mess Dress and formalwear receipts
• Travel expenses (MOT certificates help in supporting a travel claim)
How much do I get back per mile when claiming a mileage tax rebate?
• 45p (per mile) first 10,000 miles travelled.
• 25p (per mile) after the first 10,000.
E.G. If someone travelled 11,000 miles during 12 months to temporary locations of work. They would get a mileage tax rebate of £950 from HMRC.
How Far Back Can I Claim?
Current legislation in the UK says you can go back up to four Tax years when claiming a Tax rebate. This means at the current moment in time you can make a claim for the following periods:
- Year ended 5th April 2021
- Year ended 5th April 2022
- Year ended 5th April 2023
- Year ended 5th April 2024
Effectively this means you can claim Tax relief from 6th April 2020.
Over such a long period of time wage slips and p60s can be lost or misplaced. This isn’t a problem as you have lots of ways to obtain this information.

How Long Does A Tax Claim Take?
How long Tax takes to come back depends on two things:
How fast you can get the required information to ourselves
How busy HMRC are, which depends a lot on what time of the year it is
The sooner you start a claim process, the better as it can tax 8-12 weeks for HMRC to process a tax refund.
As deadlines apply for making claims, we advise you get in touch as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
