Use about 30 quid a week. Alot of my stuff is at least 20 mile distant. All set off against tax, so not so bad is it?

I've gone for £30 - £40 but it can go above £40.  If you had asked a year ago, it would have definitely been over £40 regularly.

I'll use £30-£40 per week as the area I live is 10miles to the next town. Plus I am out driving to villages leaflet dropping.

just on that do you lads just put in your receipts for diesel or do you take a reading of mileage for the tax return? 
Title: Re: How much fuel per week
Post by: EZclean on November 11, 2009, 05:07:21 pm
mileage for me.

 40p/mile first 10k, then 25p/mile for any more
Title: Re: How much fuel per week

that doesnt really answer my question though, which do you have to do or does it matter?  I know you have to take mile reading if you using a car as its for both, but do you have to for a van as its business only??

Post by: EZclean on November 11, 2009, 05:16:35 pm
if claiming mileage how are we to know how many miles we have done if we dont take note of the clock?

right ill explain in better detail

im sole trader, below the vat threshold, when putting down expenses for transport do you just put down the money spent on fuel or do you also put mileage in?  Do you have to do both?
Title: Re: How much fuel per week
Post by: EZclean on November 12, 2009, 05:15:03 pm
its one or the other.
record the mileage and claim at the pence/mile rate, or keep your receipts. you not required to do both

The Dutch have agreed in principle to implement a pay as you drive tax system for drivers...2012 is the intened start date with incremental priceing in the 1st 5 years....starting at around 0,03 euro cents a kilometer...working up to around 0,06 euro cents per km. This is going forward to the Dutch Parliment and it is rumoured that it'll will go through.

There serious about this and the Dutch are very good at electronics ...just look where the GATSO camera's came from...

Will be controlled by a satellite based system more than likely intergrated into a satnav system or such like (TOMTOM is Dutch also)...

http://www.expatica.com/nl/news/dutch-news/Pay_as_you_drive-system-divides-Dutch-cabinet_58080.html

Just to give you an idea about taxes..I looked into buying a new Landrover 110 Defender double cab...the cost price is 21k ish Euro's and then ontop of that there is VAT at 19% and then 26,000 euro's in NEW CAR TAX...so given that they will over time scrap the VAT and new car tax..they will have to make this system work in order to continue drawing in the funds that were previously taken from ROAD TAX and new car tax.

Driving is expensive here...

Now add to the pay as you drive system...vech weight and it's enviromental rating and the cost per km will increase. Oh and if you drive in 'rush hour' that will be premium time too.

So my idea of a rebuild Landrover does not seem as sensible now....

Cheers
Dave.


ps. Just another thought....thinking about the satnav system...now if the system can calculate km's driven at what time of day then I am sure that it can calculate the time taken to drive between 2 points....installed speed computer...no need for speed camera's as all cars are being watched anyhow.

Think of the revenue that will be generated per day. And when it takes off....projected start is 2012 ...it will rake in loads of money and when other countries see this...guess what??? YOU'LL BE NEXT.
