Mileage claims at work

[Strife212]

For every 6 miles I get 2 additional hours - yeah it's taxed & nic'd but it works out quite well!

What? :S

Just drive around all day!

 

[Puzzled]

Used to get 42p per mile in my last job which was awesome as it would cover petrol / servicing plus a bit of profit on top.

New job pays 14p per mile which doesn't even cover the cost of petrol.

 

[LizardKing]

14p per mile here! most people refuse to go by car now and opt for public transport, takes the **** somewhat!

 

[redeye_uk]

17p a mile here which doesnt even cover cost of petrol let alone mechanical costs, depreciation etc....

And this is despite my contract saying "You are entittled to reasonable cost of travel and this will be calculated based on actual costs."

 

[randomshenans]

35p / mile here regardless, which is Herts police ICT policy anyway, I believe!

 

[Phate]

30p a mile here.

 

[Gaidin109]

We pay our staff 55p per mile regardless of the car. There is a 10000 mile limit. We supply company pool cars anyway so rarely gets claimed.

 

[FirebarUK]

16p per mile. We get a car allowance though.

 

[gillywibble]

40p a mile across the board.

 

[[TW]Fox]

58p for my 3000cc engine.

 

[antijoke]

40p a mile for using my private car should I need to go out to see a client.

 

[Jay]

64p per mile for over 1800cc for first 3,000 miles then drops to ~23p. Or take lump sum of £80pm and get 44p per mile for 10,000 miles.

[daztrouk]

50p or 55p/mile thats for using any car, so works out quite well for me.

58p for my 3000cc engine.

So you get more for having a bigger engine?

Mine is the same size but I get 14p regardless.

I would moan about it to my boss more but I only drive on company business about once every 2 months.

 

[Dutch Guy]

I get a fixed amount each month, it works out to around 0.22 euro per kilometer or 0.36 euro per mile

 

[SilverTongue]

Edit - and you arent getting ripped, a gallon of diesel is roughly £5 and if you do 40mpg then it only costs you 12.5p a mile

however you also need to consider wear & tear to the car, tax, etc

 

[Dutch Guy]

however you also need to consider wear & tear to the car, tax, etc

Yes, it's not just fuel, it's road tax, depreciation, insurance, maintenance and fuel.

Calculate all that and you get a figure that is much MUCH higher than 12.5p per mile

If you get over the HMRC rates, your expenses become taxable and possibly nicable. Different employers have vastly different methods of paying travel expenses, for example some are flat rate per mile, others are based on the engine size of the car etc.

 

[demonoid-gnome]

Recently was raised from 35p/mile to 40p/mile.

 

[booyaka]

nothing - I don't want mileage allowance from my employer as I claim it all back from the revenue. Would rather reduce my tax bill than get a measly amount back each month.

You can claim the difference from the tax man for anyone getting less than the HMRC guidelines
