How does automatic mileage tracking work?

The app uses your phone's GPS to automatically detect when you start driving. It records the distance, duration, and route of each trip in the background without you needing to manually start or stop tracking.

Is GPS tracking accurate enough for HMRC?

Yes. GPS-based mileage tracking is highly accurate (typically within 1-2% of actual distance) and is accepted by HMRC as a valid method for maintaining mileage records. The app creates detailed logs with timestamps and routes that meet HMRC record-keeping requirements.

Can I track earnings from multiple platforms?

Absolutely. Money Miles Driver integrates with Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, and other gig platforms. You can log earnings from multiple platforms and see your total income and mileage in one place.

How much can I save on taxes with mileage tracking?

For the 2024/25 tax year, you can claim 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles, then 25p per mile after that. If you drive 10,000 miles for work annually, that's £4,500 in tax-deductible expenses, potentially saving you £900-£1,800 in tax depending on your tax bracket.

Does the app work in the background?

Yes. Once you enable automatic tracking, the app works continuously in the background. It detects when you start driving and stops recording when you park, without needing you to open the app.

What vehicles are supported?

The app supports all vehicle types including cars, motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles. HMRC mileage rates differ by vehicle type, and the app automatically applies the correct rate based on your vehicle.

How do I export mileage for my tax return?

You can export detailed mileage reports in CSV or PDF format directly from the app. These reports include all trip details, dates, distances, and calculated deductions formatted for easy inclusion in your Self Assessment tax return.

Yes. All trip data is encrypted and stored securely. Location data is only used for mileage calculation and is never shared with third parties. You have full control over your data and can delete it at any time.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The app can track trips even without an internet connection. Trip data is stored locally on your device and synced to the cloud when you're back online.

How do I separate business vs personal trips?

The app automatically categorizes trips, but you can easily review and reclassify any trip with a single tap. You can also set up rules to automatically classify certain routes (like home to a specific pickup zone) as business trips.

What is Automatic Mileage Tracking?

Automatic mileage tracking uses your smartphone's GPS to record every business trip without requiring manual input. Unlike traditional paper logbooks or manual apps where you have to remember to start and stop tracking, automatic tracking works silently in the background.

For gig economy drivers working with Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, and similar platforms, this is revolutionary. You simply drive and work as normal—the app detects when you're on a trip, records the distance and route, and calculates your potential tax deductions automatically.

The Money Miles Driver app creates a detailed, timestamped log of every business mile you drive, which can save you thousands of pounds in tax each year while ensuring you remain fully compliant with HMRC requirements.

Why GPS-Based Tracking Matters for Tax

HMRC requires self-employed individuals to maintain accurate records of business expenses, including mileage. GPS-based tracking provides several critical advantages over manual logging:

Accuracy: GPS tracking is accurate to within 1-2% of actual distance, far more reliable than estimating or relying on odometer readings
Completeness: Never forget to log a trip again—automatic tracking captures every business mile
Audit trail: Detailed timestamps, routes, and distances provide robust evidence if HMRC ever questions your claims
Time-saving: No more spending time at the end of each day trying to remember and log your trips
HMRC acceptance: GPS-based mileage logs are explicitly accepted by HMRC as valid records

💡 Important: HMRC can request to see your mileage records going back up to 6 years. Automatic GPS tracking ensures you have comprehensive, accurate records that stand up to scrutiny.

HMRC Mileage Allowance Rates 2024/25

For the tax year 2024/25, HMRC allows self-employed individuals to claim the following mileage rates:

Cars and Vans

First 10,000 business miles: 45p per mile

Over 10,000 business miles: 25p per mile

Example: If you drive 15,000 business miles, you can claim (10,000 × £0.45) + (5,000 × £0.25) = £5,750 in expenses.

Motorcycles

All business miles: 24p per mile

Bicycles

All business miles: 20p per mile

These rates are designed to cover fuel, insurance, servicing, repairs, and depreciation. You cannot claim actual vehicle running costs if you use the simplified mileage rate method.

How Tax Deductions Work

When you're self-employed, every business mile you drive reduces your taxable profit, which means you pay less tax. Here's how the math works:

Example Tax Savings Calculation

Scenario: You're an Uber driver who drove 12,000 business miles last year

Mileage deduction: (10,000 × £0.45) + (2,000 × £0.25) = £5,000

Your tax rate: 20% basic rate taxpayer

Tax saved: £5,000 × 20% = £1,000

If you're in the higher rate (40%) tax bracket, the same mileage would save you £2,000 in tax.

Without accurate mileage tracking, most drivers significantly underestimate their business miles and overpay tax by hundreds or thousands of pounds each year.
