Mileage & Fuel Tracker

How to use the Mileage & Fuel Tracker

1. Log each business trip with the date, destination, and miles driven.
2. The tracker applies the rate for the journey date: 45p before 6 April 2026 or 55p after that date for the first 10,000 car/van miles, then 25p.
3. Review the record and any employer payments with your accountant or the current HMRC guidance.
4. Export the mileage log as supporting records; the export is not a completed tax claim.

Why use this tool

• Tracks the separate car/van 10,000-mile band by UK tax year.
• Keeps journey dates, destinations, purposes and distances together for review.
• Shows the HMRC approved payment benchmark without presenting it as a cash tax refund.

HMRC's approved amount is the tax-free benchmark for mileage allowance payments when an employee uses their own vehicle for qualifying business travel. Mileage Allowance Relief, where available, concerns the unused qualifying balance after employer payments; it is not a refund of the full benchmark. Eligibility and rules also differ for self-employed simplified expenses and company vehicles. Keep evidence and check the current HMRC route for your circumstances.
