What that adds up to

15,000 business kilometres in a year comes to €6,551.70 for a car up to 1,200cc (1,500 km at 41.8c a kilometre; 4,000 km at 72.64c a kilometre; 9,500 km at 31.78c a kilometre).

Keeping the record

Whatever the rate, the claim only stands up if the journeys behind it do. That means the date, where you went, how far, and why it was business. Reclaim records each trip as you drive, prices it at the rate above, and turns the lot into a claim you can send.

Rates change when Revenue changes them. Reclaim picks new rates up without waiting for an app update, and old trips keep the rate that applied on the day they happened.
