Can you claim for commute to work in car?

You can claim a per-mile amount for the journeys as an employee from your company, the amount is set by HMRC and it is 40p per mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25p per mile after that. (Less if you use a motorcycle or pushbike).

Keep a log of all the journeys that you do and claim the appropriate amount from your company. To be on the safe side it is worthwhile taking a photo of yourself with your car at the start and end of every journey and keeping these in a file in case of any future queries.

Photo?? are you being serious?

Why are we feeding this particularly obvious troll?

I smell a troll as I can't believe that a real person can ask such a daft question.

I don't agree with the photo suggestion - it's far safer to purchase a camcorder (through the company of course tax free) and record your entire journey from start to finish keeping a library of journeys.

HMRC can then view at request any of the journeys you made in full to ensure compliance. You should make sure you actually date stamp + record the registration number of the vehicle with your face and a visible landmark on each occasion to remove any doubt.
