Business mileage receipts ?

Will work inside IR35. Or for food. -
You only need to keep receipts if you want to claim back the VAT element. Parasol and other brollies are just making the extra off the back off us - you watch, their prices will be going up soon to cover the cost of administering this.
Someone like Parasol are making a lot of money out of this, due to the nature of their "employees".
Petrol is a part of the allowance, but there is also an element to cover fair wear and tear - they'll be wanting receipts from services / new tyres etc next.Comment

Don't think so chap - only if HMRC make em! I doubt they really want to handle all those receipts!!Comment

Rewarding efficiency?
This seems crazy - I've got a 2.3 litre petrol although it's pretty efficient, which is why I bought it, as I'm doing 600-700 miles per week.
It costs £65 to fill up, and I get 500-550 miles per tank.
Now it seems I can only claim 406 miles as Parasol states I have to produce fuel receipts of 16 pound per hundred miles claimed.
Hmm.... may have to start asking the wife to collect receipts when she fills hers up.Comment

But you don't - you have to give Parasol (or any other Brollie company) receipts to support your claim. If you have £40 worth of receipts you can only claim 400 miles (depending on cc I guess) even though you have done 500 miles.Comment

Hang on, have I read this right? The only reason you need receipts then is so Parasol can claim the VAT back? Cheeky feckers.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

That's what I have been trying to say
Probably explains the other thread of Mr Taxman taking an interest in Umbrella companies.Comment

But they are refusing to pay mileage expenses unless original VAT receipts are submitted. Isn't that illegal? If it isn't, it's certainly immoral.
I suggest you Parasolers start composing your stroppy emails now.
Prize for the best one. A free month's subscription to El Duders webcam. 2nd prize, 3 months.
Well, what are you waiting for?His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
