Car mileage payments - NICs oddity

Providing that the employer reimburses an employee at the AMAPs rates above there is no PAYE or NICs liability. However, the tax-free amounts are different for PAYE and NICs.

Passengers, motorbikes and bicycles

The rates are the same whatever the mileage.

Claimant Rate per mile
Passenger 5p
Motorcycle 24p
Cyclist 20p
