Mileage expenses - who is right?

[sidknows]

who is the accountant as we ahve to meke sure we give him a wide berth!

Nah, it's actually my mothers accountant, I've been using him very ad-hoc up until now. He is doing my year end next month for me, I'll raise the issue with him then - trying to think of a way of doing it without trying to question his professionalism or personal knowledge, but it's something I can't ignore. I think I will put just the 40p/mile from this month onwards, my mileage only comes to £200 a month as I don't travel far, so if I do need to repay 9p per mile, it's hardly a big deal.

Tell him that a mate of yours has said differently, wants to claim the extra 9p a mile, and is there anywhere on the HMRC website / expenses guide that you can point him to.

Dead easy.

I know someone with an old merc whose accountant tells him (so he says anyway) that he can claim capacity based rate of 90p a mile so maybe some are ever more uninormed than yours.

So is that two people with old mercs?

After a few vodkas I tend to do everything twice.

After a few vodkas, I'm lucky if I can do anything once
