	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government sets the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) rates to minimise administrative burdens. As set out in the answer to Question 17079, the AMAP rates are advisory and therefore employers are not required to use them.</p><p> </p><p>AMAPs are reimbursed free from Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions. This is also the case when an employer chooses to reimburse the actual mileage cost or pay another rate where there is no profit element for the employee. These payments are not declared to HMRC. The Government does not have an estimate of the number of employers reimbursing the actual cost.</p><p> </p>As with all taxes and allowances, the Government keeps the AMAP rates under review and any changes are considered by the Chancellor. answering member constituency Havant answering member printed Alan Mak question first answered 14/07/2022 14:54:55 answering member 4484 label Biography information for Alan Mak
