hi
Just wondered if anyone can help me out with a mileage log.

we have our driver, but need to get a log to fill so we know what to pay every week.

do you think it's fair to pay drivetime and 25p per mile and 5p per passenger?

say, 30 mins drive, wait wait wait, and 30 mins drive back 1hr wage to pay plus mileage . Would you think this to be ok?

do i have to fill in any inland revenue tax or nics forms for this?

thanks

Hi Lisa,

I've emailed you an excel spreadsheet for claiming mileage, it works out everything and vat claimable too, (if vat registered)

Lisa besides the Freebees  everybody has collected I am puzzled.

Do you mean you have a driver who takes your cleaner or cleaners to their job and then waits for them.?

hi
My driver, only drives me and my biz partner to out of town cleans. We arrage it so we have a full day out in say church stretton bout half an hour away, and he drops us in the morning and picks us up at the end of the day. Works out cheaper for cleaners working in their local area, just to hop on a bus or walk whre they are going.

does it make sense? or am i doing it all wrong (i'd do it but i'm still learning to drive)

Thanks very much, haven't viewed it yet my pc's playing up. It wont let me open it.

Think it's on the way out 

[Ian Gourlay]

Sorry Lisa,

Could not work out why driver was not also a cleaner but now I understand.

Best to learn to drive

However I did half wonder if it could work having drivers droping and picking up cleaners if round was big enough.

[Mrs Nicholls]

can you help me get something straight?

by having this driver, do i employ him as i would a cleaner? set him up on th books/payroll etc, daft question, i know but if i'm paying him drive time, not witing around time and petrol expense of so many p per mile, i could just pay him all the money for him to put back in as petrol couldn't i?

so on my books, he would just go under fares and travel.

does that sound right?

[Ian Gourlay]

My personal opinion is you are employing this person.

Gets complicated if they are unemployed or work for someone else.

Although you could pay petrol I do not think this is lega  l.

Would 40p  a mile cover what  you pay now in time and milage

You could pay more per mile but then the person would have declare it on their tax return and pay tax if over their tax free allowance.

Would taxis be more cost effective and then you could claim that as an expense.
