Mileage claim

[Snarf]

Afternoon.

Quick one. I'm currently driving around 120miles a day to and from clientco at this rate by september/October I'll be approaching 10k miles at which point the rate I can claim back drops to 25p

Now we have two cars and I'll just generally takes whichever one is last on the drive so sometimes I come in my car and sometimes I'm in my wifes... Is the 10k miles @ 45p per car (it makes sense that it would be as it's for fuel and wear and tear, the reason it drops is that it's assumed that after 10k miles that the wear and tear element is considered paid... But that doesn't hold true if its a different car)

Just wondering as I'm two months in and have probably used my wife's car for 1/4 of the journeys.

No. It’s not per car.

No. It’s not per car.

Thanks.

Is that documented anywhere that you know of? I had a look and couldn't see it in the guidelines.

It doesn’t matter if your employee uses more than one vehicle in a year - it’s all calculated together.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rates-an...-payments-maps - "For tax purposes: 45 pence for the first 10,000 business miles in a tax year, then 25 pence for each subsequent mile"

It's not documented. What is documented is the distance. It doesn't specify the number of vehicles involved, therefore it does not get rest per vehicle.

Makes sense.

Thanks

Makes sense.

Thanks

Edited my post when I found it was documented!
