Increase in HMRC mileage rates for 2026-27
Last Updated on 3 July 2026
A quick update after announcements from the Treasury.
I suppose this is good news, as a result of bad news!
Update October 2026: Because of the US war in Iran and the rise in fuel costs, the government has raised the mileage rate for using your car for a business journey.
It is now £0.55p per mile (up from £0.45p) for the first 10,000 miles from the tax year 2026-27 onwards.
Any miles above 10,000 are 25p per mile for 2026-27, then 35p per mile from 6th April 2027.
