Questions

What are the HMRC mileage rates?

Cars and vans: 45p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year, then 25p. Motorcycles 24p a mile, bicycles 20p, plus 5p a mile for each work colleague carried as a passenger.

Can I claim mileage for my commute?

No. Ordinary travel between home and a permanent workplace does not count. Travel to customers and temporary sites usually does.

How is fuel cost worked out?

Miles divided by your mpg gives gallons, times 4.546 litres per UK gallon, times the price per litre.

Should I charge customers for travel?

Many trades add travel to the quote. The suggested charge adds your markup on top of the fuel cost.
