In short: HMRC sets approved rates for business journeys. If your employer pays less, you can claim tax relief on the difference. Commuting to a permanent workplace does not count.
An employee drives 12,000 business miles and is paid nothing. The allowance is £4,500 plus £500, which is £5,000. A basic rate taxpayer gets £1,000 back.
Employees claim through HMRC or Self Assessment, and can backdate four years. The self-employed claim mileage as an expense. Our self-employed accountants handle it, and drivers can use our Uber driver tax calculator. More on our tax calculators page.
