Why this one
The rate rose to 55p for the first 10,000 miles this year, backdated to 6 April 2026. This log applies the step down to 25p automatically at exactly 10,000 miles, which flat-rate templates get wrong.
What you get
- One Excel workbook (.xlsx) with two tabs
- Mileage Log — 400 rows: date, from, to, reason, vehicle, miles, and the claim
- The 55p and 25p rates applied automatically, with the step at exactly 10,000 miles
- Motorcycle at 24p and bicycle at 20p, on their own running totals
- Which Journeys Count — nine worked examples of the line between business travel and commuting
Made for
Anyone self-employed claiming mileage — drivers, trades, visiting professionals.
Not the right fit for
People claiming actual vehicle running costs rather than the mileage rate.
Need more than one? This is also in the UK Self Employed Complete Tax Bundle 2026/27 (£30.99) — the same files at a lower price than buying them one by one.
