digger Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 The mickey mouse " company " I work for reimburses me nine pence a mile for my diesel mondeo. What makes this worse is it costs me 10p a mile to run the bloody car and I know they charge the two contracts I run a hell of a lot more. Does anyone know of a site that gives the rate given by the tax man ? I dont want to make a profit, just cover my fuel costs Being ex self employed I have trawled the official sites and ended up back at square one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Depends on if you are employed or self employed.. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/travel.htm http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM23410.htm http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM23421.htm (depending on when you got it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 40p a mile for the first 10K I think.. You can claim the difference back from the tax man. A guy at work has just done this for the last few years, and had a nice £3k to play with at the end. Not done it myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caplock Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Yep max limits are 40p 1st 10K then 25p thereafter april to april. As said you can claim the diff by filling in an audit form (oh joy!). Think these are for employed peeps. Tell em it's max rates or do one, especially if there are more than just you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Mouse Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 The tight ****, I run my own company and I will tell you that I cant run one of our own vehicles for 9p per mile, this company is taking the micky, they should look at not only running costs but also your other costs too! Insurance, Tax, MOT, Tyres, Servicing, depreciation, etc etc They are laughing all the way to the bank mate! Find another company to work for!

Sussexboy Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Digger, I am afraid that 9p per mile is a fairly standard reimbursement rate for a diesel vehicle. I work for a large multi-national company who's name is a household word. They pay 9p per mile for diesel and 12p per mile for petrol. On the flip side, I run a company car and that is all I pay for my private mileage (plus the income tax on the car......ggrrrrr). Several of my engineers have opted out and run their own vehicles and they claim the difference back from the tax man as has been stated in several of the other posts in this thread.

Markio Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I pay 8p per private mile on my company car. Sure there's tax but i'm not sure how much that equates to. I worked it out once and ignoring general running cost of tyres, services etc there is no way in hell i could buy a new car and tax and insure it for what i pay per month. A bloody good deal for us really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darebear Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 because i don't have a lease car, i get nearly 40p per mile. but thats before tax. don't i pay enough tax on fuel as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I get 40p per mile for my van. If they offered me 9p they wouldn't be getting it's use for work purposes, and they know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Sorry, my post last night was a tad infused with beer. I should have clarified its my car for which I get a car allowance of £300 a month and Im an employee. Peed me off to hear other people talking of getting 48p a mile at a meeting yesterday. many thanks for all the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Digger, Those people getting 48p a mile are probably not in receipt of the £300 per month allowance that you receive, that rate is a "casual users" allowance generally paid by Local Government or other dolittle quango's. You need to keep a careful note of your business mileage and claim reimbursement on your annual tax return at 40p per mile for the first 10,000, I think it's 25p per mile thereafter...?? As other poster's have indicated, some dastardly individuals claim for more miles than they have actually driven, and therefore over claim on their allowance, shame on them..!! I would also suggest that you have a tactful word with your boss over the allowance that you are being paid, £300 per month after tax doesn't cover the cost of running a moped, most car users now receive between £500 / £800 per month, I suppose it depends on how much the business values your services..??

rjimmer Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think our local council pays it's parking wardens 55p a mile, but I expect that includes danger money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
