Our experts review your case and calculate exactly how much you're owed from HMRC.
We handle all the paperwork and submit your claim directly to HMRC on your behalf.
HMRC processes your claim and sends your refund directly to your bank account.
The amount you can claim depends on your business mileage and what your employer pays. With the HMRC rate at 45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, if your employer pays nothing, someone driving 10,000 business miles per year could claim £4,500. Our average client receives £3,000.
You can make a claim for up to 4 previous tax years. This means you could potentially claim back mileage expenses from as far back as 2020/ 2021, significantly increasing your total refund amount.
If your employer pays less than the HMRC rate of 45p per mile, you can claim the difference. For example, if your employer pays 25p per mile, you can claim an additional 20p per mile for all your business mileage.
Business mileage includes travel between different work locations, visiting clients or customers, attending meetings, training courses, or temporary workplaces. Your normal commute to your regular workplace doesn't count.
Once we submit your claim to HMRC, most mileage claims are processed within 8-10 weeks. We'll keep you updated throughout the process and let you know as soon as we hear from HMRC.
Our No Win No Fee guarantee means you only pay if we successfully recover money for you. If HMRC rejects your claim or we determine you're not entitled to a refund, you pay nothing. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees.
While detailed mileage logs are ideal, we can work with various forms of evidence including expense claims, diary entries, appointment schedules, or even estimates based on your work pattern. We'll help you build the strongest possible case.
No, claiming legitimate mileage expenses will not negatively affect your tax code or employment. This is a standard tax relief that HMRC expects eligible workers to claim. Your employer won't be notified of your claim.
