ABAX releases 2026 UK business mileage tax guide to help fleets reduce HMRC compliance risk
ABAX, a leading provider of vehicle tracking and mileage reporting solutions, has launched a new Business Mileage Tax Rules 2026 guide to help UK businesses understand HMRC requirements and reduce tax compliance risk.
Accurate mileage reporting remains one of the most challenging areas of fleet and tax compliance. HMRC requires clear evidence to distinguish business mileage from private use, and penalties can be significant where records are incomplete or inconsistent. ABAX’s new guide provides practical, plain-English guidance on how the rules work in practice and what businesses need to do to stay compliant.
The guide covers key areas including:
How HMRC classifies business, commuting and private mileage
Benefit in Kind rules for company cars and vans
Grey fleet compliance and Mileage Allowance Payments
HMRC mileage record requirements and audit expectations
Common compliance pitfalls and how to avoid them
Practical checklists for fleet managers and finance teams
Written specifically for UK businesses, the guide is designed to support fleet managers, finance teams, operations leaders and business owners who are responsible for vehicle use, mileage claims and tax reporting.
ABAX draws on its experience supporting thousands of UK fleets, as well as HMRC guidance and real customer use cases, to explain how accurate, automated mileage records can reduce administration and provide a defensible audit trail.
The Business Mileage Tax Rules 2026 guide is available as a free download from the ABAX website.
