I just thought claiming 13miles when I'd drive 10 anyway in the other direction was taking the piss a bit.
If you charged the client 50p per mile, then 26 miles per day at that rate, plus VAT would add an extra £78 a week to your invoices.
Which is more than signing on nets you, so why not charge it?Comment

It's been a loooooooooooong time since I claimed mileage expenses, but I recall the rule in use was that you were allowed (by the Inland Revenue) to claim the lessor of the journey from home to B and from A to B. So that's 13 miles.
Don't bother claiming from the client, but do claim it from your company - if you're obsessive enough to claw back every possible penny of tax.Comment

I seriously do not understand why everyone gets so wound about it. If you're bothered, take a few hours off and wander down to your nearest jobcentre and have a shout at some of the losers hanging around outside smoking and drinking cider.....The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.
