    Mileage or Petrol Receipts

    Who claims for Mileage and who claims for Petrol?

    I've been claiming petrol receipts for the last year or so as I use the company debit card but my new accountant was tut tutting, saying I really should have been putting 40 mile (something I used to do before the shop).

    Does everyone do mileage?

      It costs more in time and accountancy to claim petrol. Allways claim mileage

        I claim milage. It's far easier than trying to work out how much petrol/diesel you used for business and how much for peronal use.

              Mileage too. Is there something else more efficient you can do after you hit the 10,000@40p limit?

                  Rightio then. Mileage it is. Wondered why the accountant was looking at me as if I was a large green lizard!

                    As a company car driver I don't claim anything. I can't claim the 40/25p as it's not my car and to claim petrol I have to provide receipts for the petrol and work out exactly how much was used for my journey then claim that.

                    As my client is 10 miles from home it's just too much effort...
