Hi,
I hope someone can please help me.
My colleagues and I work for a firm of surveyors, and our job requires us to clock up considerable business miles. We are given a car allowance, and with that have purchased/leased vehicles, but are only given a mileage allowance of 18p per mile.
They are working off the guidance based on the mileage allowance for company cars, and not that for employees using their own vehicle for business use.
We are aware that the mileage allowance in our situation should be sufficient to cover not only the fule, but also the tax, insurance, wear and tear, maintenance and depreciation for using a private vehicle for business use.
We are looking for something in black and white from HMRC which clearly states our entitlement and exactly what the allowance covers.
At our current rate of 18p per mile, we are out of pocket for every business mile we travel, and this cannot continue, but without something in black and white we can present to our directors, they simply will not listen to our case.
Please can someone help me.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated as totting up our claim for the last financial year, we are each losing out to the tune of £2-3,000.
Many thanks
