Palindrome said - rightly - that there is a maximum allowed as a mileage
expense before it is taxable. That maximum is forty pence per mile,
regardless of vehicle type. Over and above that, in theory, it is
taxable.

In this circumstance however you are not charging for mileage at all, you
are charging for delivery; which is a service you can price anyway you
like - an element of the cost of providing this service is indeed the
mileage cost, but what proportion of it is resultant from mileage will
depend on how you price your time and any other costs to be met (packing
materials etc).

If you're going to quote me, please don't snip context.


The fact that you provided a mechanism to the buyer to allow them to pre
compute the cost of delivery is not relevant.

To the OP, I would suggest that your pricing would be likely interpreted
by a buyer as a total cost for the round trip - so a delivery at distance
of 15 miles would cost £15.


And please re-read the OP - the round trip was thirty miles.
