My stingy employer pays 18p per mile. They say this is the HMRC rate. They say the car allowance c. £5k covers the other costs. I’m not sure any of them drive or they would know this isn’t enough to run a car. I think they could pay 45/25, but are penny pinching. I’ll be claiming the difference at the end of the year…
I'm working under a similar set up and looking to claim the difference back. Just need to painstakingly collate every journey from the past 2 years! How did you get on with your claim? Was it a success and do you have any tips? Thanks!
The claims gone in, so we’ll see how long it takes. Claim either via your self assessment, if you do one, or via a paper form P87(claims less than £2,500) which has tax relief items including mileage allowance relief. I keep track of my journeys, but if you do a lot of miles then the drivernote app will track your trips. It does have a cost associated but less than £10 a month is worth it if you do lots of miles.
It would depend on your personal circumstances really and how much driving you do for work. If you're maybe a full time courier then I'd say the full claim rather than mileage claims would probably work out better. If you're doing deliveries part time as a top up earner then I would definitely do the simple calculation (45p per mile etc). If you're making an itemised claim then any expenses for your business vehicle can be included - so yeah oil, tyres, servicing etc etc - At least that's how I understand it. You could give HMRC a call or drop them an email, they're pretty helpful on the phone and definitely will know more about it than I do ;) Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.
I get payments from my employer for mileage and will do around 10k for them in a year. If I am also part time delivering, can I also claim mileage under self employed? And will it be 45p or 25p?
Great video. I have a doubt. I receive Universal Credit and inform them of my business mileage monthly. Now, I am filing my self assessment tax return. Can I put my mileage in for that too?
You'd be due some tax back I guess (not really sure though, as like I say, I'm no tax expert or anything like that), but I wouldn't be surprised if HMRC asked to see your books in an instance like that.
@LeftoverVenison I got a silly question if you don't mind. I've just got a new job which gives me an additional car allowance on top of my salary. I'm I still allowed to claim mileage from hmrc?
Could you do a video on how to claim your mileage back by printing off the forms and writing in the boxes for those who are domiciliary carer's.

Thanks for the info. What's better mileage or fuel claim also can I claim for oil and car tyres etc

@@LeftoverVenison Thank you mate. Really helpful
@LeftoverVenison you cannot make a claim for oil tyres and servicing. You pay that from the money you save from the mileage.

Last year i did mine and i got £600 back but this taxt year i did so much more mils and only got £168 how can i get less im so confused

I would think so as it's a business expense but like I say I'm no tax expert. You're best off asking HMRC or an accountant ;)
Great video, is anybody around to answer a quick question ?
What if you owe £1250 tax and the mileage claim is £2500?

The company I worked self employed for paid my 20% tax before putting the net pay into my bank so I should get my 20% mileage back right?
No idea mate sorry, you'd have to check with HMRC or an accountant
