Mileage & Receipts
Track business mileage and capture receipts with OCR for automatic matching.
Mileage Tracker
Log business trips with HMRC-approved mileage rates:
| Miles | Rate | Example |
|---|---|---|
| First 10,000 | 45p/mile | 8,000 miles = £3,600 |
| Over 10,000 | 25p/mile | 12,000 miles = £5,000 |
| Motorcycle | 24p/mile | All miles |
| Bicycle | 20p/mile | All miles |
Recording a Trip
Each mileage entry includes:
- Date of the journey
- From / To locations
- Distance in miles
- Purpose - e.g. "Client meeting", "Supplier visit"
Receipt Capture
Photograph and upload receipts for automatic processing:
- Snap - take a photo or upload an image
- OCR - TaxMTD extracts merchant, amount, and date
- Match - automatically links to your bank transaction
- Store - digital copy kept for HMRC compliance
HMRC requires you to keep records for 5 years. TaxMTD stores digital receipts indefinitely with your account.
