Mileage rate petition

[eek]

Mrs' employer (she works for a medical services company) was paying 20p a mile. (and she does 1000 business miles a month).

Worse of all they told their staff that HMRC would "make it up" to 45p a mile. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
(I'm sure you all know, you get tax relief on any shortfall - in this case, you'd get tax relief on 25p a mile which for a basic rate taxpayer equals 5p a mile tax rebate).

Then again when she worked for the nhs and it was 45p a lot of nurses would never claim expenses because "it took too long". 1000 miles a month at 45p a mile for a few hours admin. hmmmm.....

Its been upped to 30p now but its not brilliant.

What mileage fee are they are charging their customers?

A lot more, I bet!

I used to charge clients £1 a mile if I had a trip they asked me to do which needed me to use my car - I still only paid myself 45p though. It didn't happen often enough to be a proper earner sadly.

Years ago, I was a permie, and in our department we got overtime for travel time when we were out of office. Some other departments heard about this and complained, with the obvious result, that we lost our perk. Which was a bit annoying as sometimes we'd have to leave Sunday morning to be in the office Monday at 9am. However, the consultancy partner continued to charge fees for travelling.

Which was nice. Especially for the wife of the program manager, who held shares in the consultancy partner.

This is the same program manager, who, in order to keep his £200000 bonus had to make cuts of £1M. Which he duly did by cutting everyone else's bonus. He's currently sailing around the world. Hmm. Apparently near the port of Palairos. Look for the ship sailing under a German flag.
