Is it too late to claim a mileage tax rebate?

Think you’ve missed the deadline to claim your mileage tax rebate? Good news, you can still claim tax relief from HMRC for up to four previous tax years. If you’ve never claimed before, now is the perfect time to check what you’re owed.

How far back can I claim?

You can currently claim for the following tax years:

• 2021/22
• 2022/23
• 2023/24
• 2024/25

If you used your own car or van for work during any of those years and weren’t fully reimbursed, you may be eligible for a rebate.

What’s the deadline?

Mileage tax relief claims must be made within four years of the end of the relevant tax year. After that, HMRC closes the window. So don’t wait too long.

Example:

• You drove for work in 2021/22
• Deadline to claim is 5 April 2026

What if I’ve changed jobs or lost records?

No problem. Even if you’ve:

• Changed employer
• Lost your P60 or payslips
• Didn’t track mileage properly

You can still estimate your mileage and submit a valid claim with TaxBax.

What journeys qualify?

• Temporary workplaces
• Client visits
• Off site training or travel

Commuting doesn’t count.
