	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2022 answer text <p>Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) are used by employers to reimburse an employee’s expenses for business mileage in their private vehicle.</p><p> </p><p>AMAPs are intended to create administrative simplicity and certainty by using an average rate, which reflects vehicle running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Fuel is therefore only one component.</p><p> </p><p>The AMAP rate is advisory and employers can choose to pay more or less than the advisory rate – it is therefore ultimately up to employers to determine the rate at which they reimburse their employees. Employees who receive less than the AMAP rate can claim tax relief on the difference. Employees who receive more will be taxed on the difference.</p><p> </p><p>Like all taxes and allowances, the Government keeps the AMAP rate under review.</p> answering member constituency Havant answering member printed Alan Mak grouped question UIN 45937 45939 question first answered 07/09/2022 08:55:31 answering member 4484 label Biography information for Alan Mak

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government sets the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) rates to minimise administrative burdens. AMAPs aim to reflect running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Depreciation is estimated to constitute the most significant proportion of the AMAPs.</p><p> </p><p>Employers, including the NHS, are not required to use the AMAPs. Instead, they can agree to reimburse the actual cost incurred, where individuals can provide evidence of the expenditure, without an Income Tax or National Insurance charge arising.</p><p> </p><p>Alternatively, they can choose to pay a different mileage rate that is higher or lower than AMAPs. However, if the payment exceeds the amount due under AMAPs, and this results in a profit for the individual, they will be liable to pay Income Tax and National Insurance contributions on the difference.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps this policy under review.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 22/06/2022 13:42:19 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
