Travel expenses at work

[#Chri5#]

HMRC guidence : Employee Factsheet.

Work Journeys
Journeys that you have to make in the course of your job. Examples include delivering goods and making calls to customers

Non-work journeys
Journeys to and from your place of work (commuting journeys), even if you call at a client’s on the way to work (unless the journey is significantly different from your usual work journey)

Based on the above, HMRC will let you claim the expenses tax free but I expect it's down to your employer what their policy is.

I get to expense my commute to the office (TFL Z1-3 card) - 100% rebate = free trips to work.


Just sayin'

That would seem to be a benefit in kind.

I assume you declare this to HMRC so that you can pay the appropriate tax and NI?

How does that work?

 

[Vanquish-Storm]

Can you drive to your place of work, then drive onto where you need to go?

If you all do that they might change their minds.

Isn't that just wasting your own time as quite often you'll be heading away from where you need to go?
