Rejected petition Raise rates for business mileage from 45p in line with current fuel rises

The business mileage rate has been capped at 45p for the last 12 years, when in 2010 the average cost of fuel was 114 per litre and now (2022) it is averaging 189 with the tax inflation.

More details

Give higher mileage rates so people can afford to keep working and commuting. There is already a crisis in the job market with fewer people working since COVID and driving up fuel costs will see others unable to commute/work, and increase those seeking unemployment benefits.
