I need to come and work for you then:D

You can claim the difference (ie 40-13p) from your tax return each year. Goto the Inland Revenue to find out how to get a tax rebate on this. There's calculations and a table for petrol rates etc. All you need to do is list all the journeys, the distance, the rate you got paid and the difference (on a spreadsheet).

I do this every year. In fact I think you can back date it upto 6 years past so if you've got all the records you can claim the difference back.

How does that work on a company owned vehicle??

Here I am Chi

Although no tax expert I do happen to know that the Inland Revenue changed the fuel rates on 1st July, in response to rising fuel costs. They are now :-

up to 1400cc petrol 10p, diesel 9p
1401 to 2000 petrol 12p, diesel 9p
over 2000cc petrol 16p, diesel 13p

So you may have a case, Dave, depending on your motor.

The Revenue have also said they'll review the rates again if fuel rises by 10% (from whatever it was the last time they looked at it).

Sorry, just checked - that's for your own vechile for company use. Sorry. Why doesn't your company give you a petrol card?

Don't want to get taxed on that either:sniff:

2000cc diesel 4x4!!!!!!

sorry, now looks likely that I'll be looking for a job when I come back from hols:(

But am trying to be optimistic:)

Dave, if you're charging 13p a mile, the Revenue advises only 9p a mile (this is based on an assumed 45.6mpg, believe it or not).

As I see it, Dave, you may be liable to a tax charge on 4p a mile (unless your company is prepared to cover this for you).
