What government form do you fill out to get money back due to mileage allowance?

I have a company fuel card but use my own car. I should be able ot get around 40p per business mile back.

The website is normally OK but i'm fidning it difficult for this.

Any ideas which form?

Thanks
 
Do you not claim it back form your company?
Do you pay the fuel card bill or does your company, if your company then im not sure if you actually get 40ppm back.

I think (for me anyway it is) the 40p is inclusive. You pay for the fuel , insurance, road tax, tyres etc in the 40p a mile.

If you get your fuel paid by a card I guess it's a perk and you would have to declare all that stuff.
 
I thought the 40p per mile comes out of the amount spent on the fuel card?
 
I just pay monthly based on my tax rate and the co2% of the car, ((14400*tax rate)/100) * (C02%/100)).

That allows me to use as much fuel as humanly possible (ie private aswell), my FD loves me:D
 
How is the fuel card bill paid? In order to claim back business miles you are going to have to be footing its bill.
 
All you guys with Company fuel cards, I've always thought you were the Best members on here. Top Blokes the lot of ya, Add me to MSN so we can be Buddys :D + :p
 
The tax you pay isnt on fuel but on the company car, if you pay for fuel with a company fuel card you cant claim that tax back !

The Company must pay you your mileage not the government !

The 40p rate includes fuel, which you do not pay for.

All fuel is on my P11D as a benefit. I DO pay for it because my car is both for personal and business use. The amount comes directly off my yearly tax allowance, my tax code goes down every year.

Once I declare the number of miles that are business use I can claim the tax on those miles back.
 
Your situation seems very strange, the way it usually works is that the fuel card bill is footed entirely by the employer, and you get deducted a BIK worked from the taxation band of the car to cater for the private use. The employer then may or may not decide to charge you a fee out of your salary for the use of the private fuel, only this value can be offset.

Best bet is to ring the tax office as you have a very strange situation, i assume you are on a massively negative tax code then, as the whole fuel bill passed through as a BIK would be MASSIVE and way in excess of your entire personal allowance, their number is on your P11D, they are very helpful :)
 
Jez is right & I only want the guys with Company paid fuel cards to add me the others are no use to me. Company paid fuel card holders, Me Love You Long Time :D

Yeah, I got a letter saying this year my tax code is something like 105L. Which means the fuel bill is massive (RX-8).

The year I am tying to claim from is 2006/2007 and is for when I used to have a 306HDi. A large bill but not massive.

I'm slowly gathering facts:

My employer does not pay me per mile because they give me a monthly sum towards my car. This is the side of things that the company is responsible for.

The fuel card is the other side. This is where the government releases its own figures around price per mile. The provision of fuel gives rise to a benefit which should be subject to PAYE (hence why it is on the P11D). This is all being passed onto me (and colleagues) via P11D. This is a TAX bill, not petrol cost. My company pays the actual petrol, I sort out the tax by telling the government how many miles are business miles. I have to pay tax on my personal mileage but shouldn't on business mileage (imagine I did 40k miles a year? i'd pay 10k+!!).

From this I can get a tax allowance, It's 40p per mile for the first 10,000, then 25p per mile thereafter.

This is called mileage allowance relief.
 
You are going to need to give them a ring. I believe that you are incorrect, 105L sounds about right for an RX7 fuel benefit alone and thus i dont believe you will be entitled to claim anything back.

My car isnt a company car and so CO/2 emissions have no bearing, no one knows what my car is :)

My tax code is so low because I have spent so much so far this year on petrol that come april they are changing my code. They don't ask me for the money, they take it out of tax-free yearly entitlement.

That's why you see so few RX8's, their CO2 emissions are so poor that no fleets or employees will go near them!
 
I dont really understand the situation mate, ive never known it to be done like this, as i say you are best to phone the tax office :)
