What do you charge clients for travel / mileage?
Your charges for mileage or travel are not “tax deductible” because it is income that you record. If you have travel expenses (gas, oil, repairs, etc.) that are NOT directly reimbursed by your customer, those are deductible on your business tax forms (Schedule C). I charge 85 cents per mile traveled if total time is under one hour.
Can You charge Inland Revenue for business mileage?
inland revenue will only let companies pay mileage from someone’s normal place of work to the client site. Garbage, its the actual journey they make. The number of miles is simple – the shorter of office-client or home-client. Use Multimap or whatever to give the mileage, not what the mileometer says.
Do you claim mileage reimbursements on your taxes?

Do you have to pay HMRC for business mileage?
HMRC set amounts that you can claim, your employer can pay you more than these but the amount paid over the HMRC rate is then taxable. You can charge clients whatever you like at whatever rate you like. There is no need to stick to HMRC rates or rules for the charges.
