Issue Summary

The Government has identified a technical inaccuracy in its responses regarding Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) from March to August 2022.

HMRC is taking steps to inform employers and employees about the correct AMAP rates, ensuring that any taxpayers relying on incorrect information are not disadvantaged on an individual basis.

Key Facts

  • Actual expenditure for business mileage can only be reimbursed free of Income Tax and National Insurance contributions for volunteer drivers.
