If you're claiming a mileage allowance, then the receipts shouldn't be required as you may be doing private mileage as well as business.

The receipts may be used to recover the VAT, but it does fall into the above for private mileage.

Then I'd suggest you get one organised sharpish - it's this kind of thing for which they're there ...

The rate you charge on can be dependent on what is written into your contract. i.e. the pimp may have sneaked 36p/mile in there.

Oh yeah, send photocopies of the receipts...

What contract would that be then.....no seriously I have no contract.

Not sure if a or a is called for

Pimp wants ma VAT...snizzle

Sigh...

The agency I am through not only let the person I am working for go on maternety without telling me...wondered why my voicemail was left unanswered but now want to mess me around with expenses.

I do a lot of driving. Roughly 1000 a week at the moment. I just send through the first claim for £1600 (4000 miles) and the pimp send me back a "must be on one of our forms" e-mail.

Ok, so I carbon copy from my invoice to one of thier forms where it wont let me charge over 36p/mile. Not only this but they also want VAT reciepts for the value of the mileage (thats a lot of diesel).

Now as this has already been approved at 40p/mile I want to claim that, I suspect that they are trying to make a cut on the 40p (around 4p to be exact) and that just dont sit right.

Also I planned on keeping onto the reciepts so I could reclaim the 1p or 1.75p or whatever on the mileage.

Overall about ean extra £80 a week to me.

Where does this sit...who has right to the VAT reciepts and who can specify the rate as I am contracting through a Ltd not PAYE I would have thought that they have very little power and I am definatly outside IR35.

Cheers
