Simple Mileage Tracking for Sole Traders
If you are a sole trader, mileage is one of your biggest tax reliefs — but only if you track it. MileageCalendar makes it simple.
Sole traders lose thousands in unclaimed mileage
As a sole trader, you manage everything — your work, your admin, your taxes. Mileage tracking often falls to the bottom of the list, and journeys are forgotten or estimated.
But mileage is one of the most valuable tax reliefs available to sole traders. At 55p per mile, 8,000 business miles a year is worth £4,400 — deducted from your taxable profit. If you are a basic-rate taxpayer, that saves you £720. Higher-rate taxpayers save £1,440.
Yet many sole traders under-claim because they do not have accurate records. HMRC requires the date, start point, destination, miles and purpose for every journey — and if you cannot produce them, your claim may be questioned.
Mileage tracking designed for sole traders
MileageCalendar is built for sole traders who manage their own appointments, expenses and business records. It gives you multiple ways to track mileage — calendar import, manual entry, postcode calculation — so you can choose the method that fits your work.
Every journey is recorded with the details HMRC needs. The app applies the 55p/25p approved rate automatically, tracks the 10,000-mile threshold, and produces a report ready for your Self Assessment.
And because sole traders often track expenses too, MileageCalendar combines mileage and expense tracking in one app — with receipt scanning, AI categorisation and accounting export.
