Usual millage rate..?

[badger7579]

What rates are people claiming for mileage? I thought it was 40p per mile for the first 10,000 miles in a year and then 23p after.

Contract I've just received says I can claim 23p per mile for personal vehicle on business travel...

Am I being stitched up?

40p per mile for the first 10000 and 25p per mile thereafter are HMRC published rates.. A company does not have to apply these, but can go lower or higher (although that will incur BIK)..

The rates (assuming they have not been changed today!)* are 40p for the first 10,000 miles and then 25p thereafter.

What a client/agency chooses to pay to you is for them but you can still claim the 40p/25p rate from your company.

Yiour accountant can sort this for you.

* - no changes for 2008/09!, ie still 40p/25p

You're not being shafted.

You can claim up to 40p a mile from your company. Your contract says that the client will reimburse your company 23p a mile. It could say that they will reimburse you £1 a mile - but that is reimbursement to your company, not to the employee of that company.

When I was permie, I used to get 10p a mile. Company charged the client 55p a mile, but I didn't see much of that - the situation is the same here.

Great. Thanks for the advice..

I think even 40/25p is a stitch up. Those rates really do need increasing.

50p/30p is more realistic.

[TheFaQQer]

50p/30p is more realistic.

But 8p/0p is fairer

0p/0p is likely next budget after they've assessed travel expenses claimed by temporary workers, which they think are unfair at the moment as normal employees can't claim them.

I assume they mean us lot, whether it ought to or not.

In the very small print, too, is a warning for contractors working through what are known as "umbrella companies".

These individuals currently benefit from tax free travel expenses; these reliefs may however be withdrawn in the future.

It's the easiest way of sorting out the dispensations.
