Short answer
For 2026-27, employees using their own vehicle use HMRC Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) rates: cars and vans at 55p for the first 10,000 business miles and 25p after that, motorcycles at 24p, and bicycles at 20p.
At a glance
- AMAP rates apply to employees using their own vehicle for eligible business travel.
- Employer payments below the approved amount can create a mileage allowance relief shortfall.
- Company-car fuel reimbursement is a separate advisory fuel rate workflow.
