The government has announced an increase in the car mileage rate to 55p/mile backdated to April 2026. The rate had been 45p/mile since 2011. The PAGB has therefore increased its maximum mileage rate to 55p/mile. For Clubs, the increase is just over 20%. For comparison, the CPI and RPI increases since 2011 are about 50% and 75% respectively. See more details on the Speakers page.
​
55p/mile is not the cost of running any particular car: it is a compromise rate which HMRC will accept as expenses regardless of the actual car used. PAGB uses this maximum rate as a protection for listed speakers and also to provide some certainty to Clubs when planning their programmes.

This is open to any member of N&EMPF who is interested in becoming a N&EMPF judge, it is also open to any of our existing judges to get involved in a refresher day.
