HMRC have raised the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) rate from 45 pence per mile to 55 pence per mile. The new rate can be backdated to 6 April 2026.

Employees, directors, self-employed or partners who use a private car or van for business travel, can claim the new rate and can adjust previous claims from the 6 April 2026.
On 10,000 miles that's an extra £1,000 tax free which could make a big difference for those who drive regularly.

The rates per business mile that can be claimed for the 2026-27 tax year are:
Cars and goods vehicles first 10,000 miles 55p
Cars and goods vehicles after 10,000 miles 25p
Motorcycles 24p

2. The lower earnings limit has been scrapped

3. SSP is now calculated differently for lower earners
