Mileage Allowances

Asked by Mr Tanmanjeet Singh DhesiLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 3 September 2025UIN 70872

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to reassess the mileage reimbursement rate.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The Government keeps the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) rate under review and HMRC use a variety of information in estimating typical motoring costs per business mile. This includes information from the AA, the National Travel Survey, the Association of British Insurers, and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

As with all taxes and rates, the Chancellor makes decisions on tax policy at Budget in the context of public finances.
