Post by: Sir Squeaky on December 22, 2007, 12:04:53 am: I do about 50-80 miles per week average.

All my work is within 5 miles, but it's not always arranged that well, and I may come home for lunch, or pop back to an area later for one who wasn't in.

I've had weeks where I've probably done 100+ miles, but also ones where I've done 20.

I got my van brand new, so I can tell exactly.
I'll find out tomorrow.

I have done 5800 miles in 36 weeks so thats just over 160 miles per week on average slightly less than i thought

Post by: Paul Coleman on December 22, 2007, 09:22:27 am: I do between 200 and 300 a week usually. Occasionally, on a very easy week, it might drop to 150. Some personal mileage comes out of that too as my van is my only vehicle.

On what basis were you able to claim £5.5k?

Post by: Bonkors on December 22, 2007, 02:32:00 pm: I would appreciate if you knew as it may help a lot of other members. Could it be a tax loophole?
Title: Re: Mileage
Post by: DASERVICES on December 22, 2007, 03:40:11 pm: £0.40p for first 10k, then £0.25 after.

But you cannot claim any other expenses related to your van/car.

You have two options mileage or running costs.

You cannot swop or change the options only when you have a new car/van.

All info is on the IR site.
