Your website also mentions that dividends are available on profits before tax. Excuse me??
Stop giving bad advice to your current client base and to users of this forum.

Sorry, I should have elaborated (my badly written posts have probably caused some confusion!). Cycling Programmers first paragraph on the post at 19:33 is therefore correct.
However, whilst legal ownership is not necessary, you must bear the costs of the vehicle you are claiming the mileage for.
BIM47701 Applies
Ownership - It is not necessary for a person who claims mileage rate basis to be the legal owner of the vehicle. All that is necessary is that the taxpayer claiming the expense is paying the costs of running and maintaining the vehicle.Last edited by John8589; 8 February 2015, 19:48.

It's worth noting that if these payments do fall under the passenger payment exemption, then it only applies if the driver is also an employee making a business journey and is paid mileage for the trip.
In other words it's an addition, not standalone. And it's payable to the driver.
EIM31400 - Employees using own cars or vans for work: outline and definition of passenger payments
I stand by what I said about mileage being allowed on any car, other than company cars, regardless of ownership but it does seem be the case that you need to have been driving (paragraph 4 of the above legislation backs this up).Last edited by TheCyclingProgrammer; 8 February 2015, 19:39.
