As a director, you can claim your mileage or travel as an expense
Claiming mileage
As a director of a UK limited company, you are not able to expense petrol receipts into the company, however, you can claim mileage.
HMRC allows 45p per mile for the first 10,000 and then 25p thereafter. Please note this renews each year.
The general rule is that expenses must be “wholly, exclusively and necessary” for business purposes. As the company director, you are responsible for ensuring that all expenses reported in the accounts are solely for the purpose of the business.
How to claim
To claim mileage the client needs to record the miles they have travelled through the year on a mileage log see an example below, it must include:
-
Date
-
From location
-

-
Miles travelled
-
Rate (45p or 25p)
-
