UK Tesla mileage claims

HMRC Tesla mileage claims: what UK Tesla drivers need to track

If you use your personal Tesla for work, the useful record is simple: where you went, when you went, how many business miles you drove, and why the trip was business-related.

The headline rate is still meaningful

For UK 2026/27 records, the published cars-and-vans reference rates are 55p for the first 10,000 business miles, then 25p. Taxel uses dated rates and recorded annual mileage. Your allowable claim or reimbursement may differ.

Purpose and notesAdd why the trip was business-related so the record is understandable later.
Start and end locationsKeep enough detail for an accountant, employer, or finance team to review.

Report totalsSummarise miles and indicative mileage amount for the period you need.

Why Tesla owners need a different workflow

Generic mileage apps often depend on phone GPS, work-hour rules, saved places, or manual logging. A Tesla-specific workflow can start from the car journey itself: capture trips, send new journeys to an Inbox, classify them quickly, and export a clean report when you need it.

That is the Taxel wedge: automatic Tesla trip detection, fast Business or Personal classification, and mileage reports without spreadsheet cleanup.
