A welcome update for employees, directors and self-employed individuals who use their own car or van for business journeys.
The approved mileage rate has increased from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, backdated to 6 April 2026.
For employers, this may mean reviewing mileage claims already submitted this tax year and checking whether payroll or expenses processes need updating.
For individuals, it is a reminder to keep accurate records of business mileage, including dates, destinations, purpose of travel and miles driven.
