Can You Claim Mileage Tax Relief if You Work Part-Time?
Yes. If you're a part-time employee who drives your own car for work and your employer reimburses less than 45p per mile (or nothing at all), you could still qualify for a mileage rebate from HMRC.
I don’t work full-time, am I still eligible?
You don't need to work full-time to claim. What matters is:
You’re on PAYE
You use your own vehicle for work-related journeys
You’ve paid some income tax
What journeys count?
Even in part-time roles, mileage between temporary work locations, clients, or job sites may be eligible. Daily commuting to a fixed office doesn’t count.
How does the claim work?
TaxBax calculates the difference between what HMRC allows and what your employer paid, even if it's only a few hours per week.
Can I claim if I didn’t keep a log?
Yes. We use job type, shift pattern and travel distance to estimate fairly, no detailed records needed.
What could I be owed?
Typical part-time mileage rebates range from £100 to £1,000, depending on travel, earnings and backdated years.
