UK product page
Written for UK claim intent
The UK page focuses on commute rules, AMAP context, and evidence retention in plain HMRC language.
Ordinary commuting stays out of the claim
Home-to-workplace runs are marked private, so only business journeys reach the export total and UK review decisions are visible earlier in the workflow.
HMRC-facing record structure
Exports retain the journey fields accountants and claim reviewers expect to see when checking mileage evidence.
Country-year context
The UK page and the UK guides both describe the product through HMRC language and UK-specific recordkeeping context.

FAQ
Mileage tracking for HMRC: common questions
Is there a free mileage tracker app in the UK?
MileTrack is currently free to use, and that includes the export. There is no paid tier between automatic journey detection and a finished PDF, CSV, or XLSX mileage log, and no account or card is needed to start.
What does HMRC need in a mileage log?
For each business journey: the date, where you started and finished, why you made the trip, and the miles driven. MileTrack records the date, route, and miles on every journey, you add the purpose, and the export keeps each as its own column, so nothing has to be rebuilt from memory at Self Assessment time.
What are the HMRC mileage rates in 2026?
From 6 April 2026 the approved mileage rate for cars and vans is 55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year and 25p after that. The 55p tier replaced 45p, which had stood since 2011. MileTrack's UK profile carries both tiers.
How does the app handle commuting?
The UK profile draws the line HMRC draws: a journey is business or it is private. Ordinary travel between home and your permanent workplace is not business mileage, so you mark it private and it stays out of the claim. Only business journeys count towards the total.
Can I use it for a Mileage Allowance Relief claim?
Yes. If your employer pays less than the approved rate, the shortfall is claimable as Mileage Allowance Relief, and the export gives you the business miles and the journey detail behind them. If you file a Self Assessment return, the claim goes on that return; otherwise claim through the GOV.UK online service or on form P87.
Where is my journey data stored?
Journey history, saved places, vehicles, and reports stay on-device by default. On iPhone, explicit address lookup, route preview, reverse geocoding, Look Around, and map viewing can contact Apple mapping services in real time, but MileTrack does not host journey history on its own servers in the current beta.
How do I get the app?
Download MileTrack free from the App Store on iPhone, with no account and no card. Install it, grant motion and location permissions, and the first journeys are detected automatically. Android is not published yet.
