For Employees Using Their Own Transport
The approved maximum tax and national insurance free mileage allowances for employees using their own transport for business are as follows:
| First 10,000 miles | Miles over 10,000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Car | 40p | 25p |
| Motorcycle | 24p | 24p |
| Bicycle | 20p | 20p |
Income Tax and NICs are due when allowances exceed these rates. Employees can claim tax relief on any shortfall.
Rates of up to 5p per mile, per passenger, are also tax and NIC free when paid for the carriage of fellow employees on the same business trip.
