Tax Claim Facts regarding business mileage tax allowances for employees who use their own vehicle for work purposes ...
It is possible to make a business mileage tax claim if you use your own vehicle as part of your job. Use of your own vehicle in this way is known as business mileage and business mileage tax relief can potentially be claimed on using your own vehicle in the performance of your duties.
There are a number of professions where business travel is required, for example tradesmen, health workers and sales people. Tax Rebate Services has over 30 years professional taxation experience and is a registered HMRC agent. To help you further in reclaiming the business mileage tax relief you are entitled to, please find below some helpful mileage tax rebate facts.
Included below, information on mileage tax allowances including:
Business mileage | Temporary Workplace | Mileage Rate Allowance | Other Tax Relief
Business mileage
Business mileage is classified as mileage incurred in doing your job. It can include travel to a temporary work place or travel to various sites in your own car or van.
Business mileage does not include travel to a permanent workplace from your home, for example normal commuting to the same office each day. A claim for business mileage can currently be made for the last five tax years starting from the 2006/2007 tax year unless you have completed a self assessment tax return.
Temporary workplace
As a general rule HMRC class a temporary workplace where an employee attends one site for a period which lasts, or is expected to last for less than 24 months. It is important to ensure that you have a temporary workplace before making a mileage claim.
Mileage rate allowance
Tax relief can be claimed on business mileage if the travel meets the above criteria.
The mileage rate allowance permitted by HMRC is .40p per mile up to the 5th April 2011 (changing to .45p in the 2011-2012 tax year) for the first 10000 miles and 25p per mile thereafter. A mileage claim is still possible if your employer pays you a mileage allowance which is not the maximum HMRC allowed mileage allowance rate of .40p per mile up to the 5th April 2011 and .45p per mile thereafter and also when any mileage allowance paid by an employer is taxed
HMRC require records to be kept for example timesheets or a diary of locations visited with dates and the mileage incurred. If mileage records have not been kept Tax Rebate Services has a high success rate in securing a mileage claim tax rebate through negotiating with HMRC and can potentially help you further.
Other tax relief
When attending tempory workplaces, tax relief can also be claimed for public transport for business use, accommodation and subsistence costs (food and refreshments). You can also claim tax relief on purchases of tools and specialist clothing acquired for work purposes.
