Overview

Tripcatcher is for individuals, accountants, bookkeepers, and companies where users drive their own or company vehicles for business.

Mileage can be recorded manually through the Add Trip form on the phone app and web app. Tripcatcher uses Google’s functionality to select locations and calculate distances travelled. Mileage on the go can also be captured through GPS. The GPS tracking uses a manual start and stop, it is not automatic.

Tripcatcher users can, when claiming their business mileage, use the HMRC-recommended rates

  • 45ppm (reducing to 25ppm after 10,000 miles) for cars and vans,
  • 24ppm for motorbikes
  • 20ppm for bicycles
  • 5ppm per passenger

Company car users can claim mileage using the HMRC Advisory Fuel Rates and Tripcatcher also allows users to set up bespoke rates.

The benefits of using Tripcatcher with Xero for claiming mileage include:

  • The integration with Xero cuts down on data entry
  • Claim all your business mileage easily with favourite places, favourite trips, default settings and more
  • Save money especially when claiming the VAT on mileage expenses through Tripcatcher
  • Record and publish mileage to Xero, on the go, with the iOS and Android apps
  • Easily manage your users' mileage expenses through the "Users dashboard”
  • Tripcatcher is continually being improved based on customer feedback

Tripcatcher + Xero

Tripcatcher publishes your mileage expenses to Xero Bills or Classic Expenses using your selected account codes.

The HMRC Advisory Fuel rates are also used to calculate the VAT on mileage expenses which feeds into your Xero VAT report.

Brill app

We love the ease of this app + website to record our business mileage. It has really useful features and the owners were very helpful when I needed support. Would definitely recommend.

Great app

My mileage has increased (again) since the pandemic and I used to use spreadsheets to track my mileage claims. This is a great app, which saves me loads of time and interfaces very well with Xero.

Responsive and personal support

I have happily used this app for a number of years now. Due to a rebranding of our business and subsequent changes to emails requiring login changes etc. I needed to make changes to how we login and how the app interfaces with Xero. I received a prompt, personal step by step guide and follow up to make the changes and all done simply, with no loss of data or service. Great service and happy to recommend.
