This isn\u2019t an obligation but it really is a fantastic perk that employees always appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>The amount that you offer is up to you, with HMRC\u2019s recommended rate being the following:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>First 10,000 miles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cars and vans = 45p<\/p>\n<p>Motorcycles = 24p<\/p>\n<p>Bikes = 20p<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Above 10,000 miles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cars and vans = 25p<\/p>\n<p>Motorcycles = 24p<\/p>\n<p>Bikes = 20p<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Employees that are reimbursed at the approved rates or under don\u2019t have to report it to HMRC. Anything above the current rate will need to be reported by the company via a P11D form, plus the amount needs to be added to the employee\u2019s wages so that they can pay tax on it. To keep things simple, we suggest sticking to the approved rates listed above.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, you have to maintain records of any mileage allowance you pay out. This should be in the form of each employee keeping an individual mileage log, outlining details of their business travel for each calendar month.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Need help with tax?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We provide the highest standard of tax management to businesses across the UK.
