This is the same process employers currently use to report salary and other employee details to HMRC when payments are made to employees.

The FPS will be used to report the taxable value of BiKs and expenses so that both Income Tax and Class 1A NICs can be reported in real-time.

The approved mileage allowance payment (AMAP) will go up from 45p per mile to 55p per mile, backdated to April 2026.
