Posted By gham http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/m...ls/eimanual/EIM31360.htm I think the allowance you can claim back is 40p per mile for the first 10000 miles per year and then 20 odd p(total guess) a mile after that If your employer pays you less you can claim the difference from the IR if they pay you more and you make a "profit" from it you will get taxed accordingly. You can incorporate this into your self assessment which you can fill in online, you will also get tax releif every month if you use your own car for business use, speak to an accountant or contact you friendly local IR customer service office

Posted By Pete48 Paul, the figures that gham has posted are the maximum allowable figures for payment tax free for use of own vehicle. If you are paid above this, you will be taxed at the relevant rate on the difference. There are different rules for company cars. The revenue, same web site, produce "advisory fuel rates" for employers who reimburse for business mileage. These are notably lower than the 40p figure because you are not charged with the on going maintenance etc. Companies will refer to this guidance to ensure their tax liability including NI contributions is clear. If they pay more, they attract tax liability to the company including NI contributions. The revenue guidance is quite clear that they believe the values reflect the "norm". I have not checked but I would guess it is in the range of 12-15p per mile.
