Private Mileage Allowance 2012-13

Approved Mileage Allowance Payment Scheme (AMAP)

If you use your own car for business purposes, your employer may or may not pay for the mileage that you do.

The Inland Revenue have set the following maximum rates per mile that can be claimed. These can either be claimed from your employer or if they do not pay you at all or pay you at a smaller amount per mile, you may claim the balance from the Inland Revenue to offset against your tax bill.

By claiming up to these maximum rates, the Inland Revenue are happy that you are not making a profit from doing business miles in your vehicle.
