I have recently had an answer from my boss saying that i should have been adding my mileage to and from work to my claim sheet (works out at 38miles a day)

now i started adding this from the start of last month! but what i am wondering is whether i can now claim for the mileage from when i got transfered to this office back in November??

my boss told me i should have been claiming since i moved. i just didnt think to ask at the time he said it!! im in the office by myself today so cant ask him!

thoughts??

Um... I'm not sure you can.

Are you employed? Self employed? PSC/MSC?

Does the company provide you with a car? Private fuel?

If they provide you with fuel for "substantially ordinary commuting" i.e. home to work journeys, then this is a benefit in kind and you will be taxed on it.

employed and its my car.

i was told that as part of the agreement for me coming to work out here ( i had no choice) that they would make sure i didnt get screwed over and lose money, just took me ages to ask again when i wasnt getting it.
 
it was supposed to be temp, but now its not lol

but i was told go there or we will have to make you redundant. first thing i said is im going to lose x amount a month in getting to and from work, they said something would be sorted out.

You cannot claim for your regular commute.

HOWEVER..

You *can* claim as part of reclocation expenses - usually it's a reduced rate but you don't claim for the entire journey, you claim for the distance between your old base and your new base. It can be for up to 2 years IIRC.

the difference between where i used to work and my house is a 1minute walk, so the distance i travel now is prob 37miles a day rather than the half mile walk
