BUGGER!!!!!!!!!!

So although the company does not pay enough to cover the fuel charges and I'm out of pocket, I could also get taxed!

The hits just keep coming.

Cheers for all your advise guys

Dave, how you might be expected to get an average 45.6mpg out of a TD4 Freelander I simply can't imagine.

I own my car well BMW finance do and I charge the company for each mile travelled. Does anyone else do that and if so what do you get paid per mile.

Vans are much simpler. Company van, minimal private usage, parked at home = £500 taxable value p.a., or roughly £130 tax p.a. (a tenner a month)

From next year, no tax at all on vans taken home (due to safety/security of vehicle) PROVIDED : no shopping except stopping for basics, 2 tip runs p.a. etc etc

So, wahey - I'm better off even if it is only a tenner a month

I think whatever we do wont make a difference unless it starts to affect the "management" nothing will change

I do like the idea of :

One guy went as far as to disconnect the speedo at weekends put a 12v motor on and actually add miles so he could claim them back

i have a cunning plan!!

I have to get to work in m y own car, paying for my own fuel

If having a company car is so bad.........send it back! try using your own!

Im sure they will give you money instead!
