Business mileage in a private car: reimbursement rates in 2008/9

April 4, 2008 Posted by: Lee Sibbald

The 2008/9 Tax and National Insurance-exempted amounts claimable under the HM Revenue & Customs Authorised Mileage Allowances Payments (AMAPS) for business mileage in a private car remains the same as for 2007/8 (see below).If your employer reimburses you at a lower rate than the AMAP rates, you are entitled to claim tax relief on the difference. Conversely, reimbursements made at a higher level than the AMAPs will incur tax.

The incentive to drive fewer miles will be strengthened by increasing the fuel benefit charge at least in line with the Retail Prices Index from April 2009.

AMAP rates 2008/9

  Up to 10,000 miles Over 10,000 miles
All cars 40p 25p

Because of the swift and major increases in fuel prices and vehicle registration charges etc in 2008, upward adjustments by HMG to tax allowances are now overdue.

No doubt representations have been made to HMG about the need to review UPWARDS the tax allowances (40p & 20p) payable to car owners for business maleage in private vehicles/cars.

Have you any information on this ?
Regards

What is the answer to the question above?
Are the rates going up or not?

Thank you for your help.
