One small change… that could quietly cost businesses £££ if they miss it.

The UK mileage allowance has increased from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles and honestly, this seems to have gone massively under the radar for a lot of business owners.

A 10p increase per mile is not small. For businesses with employees regularly travelling for work, this could have a noticeable impact on expenses and payroll.

A few key things worth knowing:

✅The increase is backdated to April 2026

✅ Employees and self-employed workers can now claim 55p per mile tax-free

✅ If employers pay less, workers may be able to claim tax relief on the difference

✅ This is the first increase since 2011 after a 15-year freeze despite rising motoring costs

Mileage over 10,000 miles stays the same and rates for motorcycles and bicycles are unchanged.

Definitely worth checking your mileage policies, payroll setup and employee expenses process because this one has caught quite a few people out already 👀

Did you know the mileage allowance increased to 55p per mile? We’re back in the office today if you need our support 🥰
