HMRC raised this from 45p — you may be owed the difference
The car and van rate for the first 10,000 miles was 45p a mile for years. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) raised it on 17 June 2026, backdated to 6 April 2026. If your app or spreadsheet still says 45p, you're owed the difference on every business mile since 6 April.
One warning: once you use the flat mileage rate for a vehicle, that vehicle stays on it while it's in the business. You can't switch it to claiming its actual running costs later.
What this means for you
Already sent Q1 at 45p? No redo needed. Each quarter's running figure is worked out fresh from the year's total miles at the current rate. The shortfall catches up by itself next quarter.

Education, not advice. The number that counts is the one HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) calculates. We are working towards HMRC recognition; this tool cannot file to live HMRC. Only the clearly labelled practice flow can send figures to HMRC's sandbox.
What this means
TaxSorted can add the records you include exactly, but it cannot see your full situation, so those totals may be incomplete. Any tax estimate is only as good as the facts supplied. A sandbox receipt is practice evidence, not a production filing or a paid tax bill.
