YourCo bills 20p per mile +VAT from ClientCo.

You then claim from YourCo according to HMRC rules.

Thanks

Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.

This is the first time I've used my own vehicle as I generally use the works van.

20p a mile seems miserly, but yes, better than a kick in the teeth.

Anything which is none standard at the moment I'm viewing as inside IR35 contract desperately trying to get people to sign up...

I read the post as client paying mileage for travel between sites after 60 miles. 1-59 miles tax deductible as per usual and 60 plus is recovered from the client.

Don't assume tax deductible - look at my link and start to see the complexities involved....

So if it's for your commute journey expenses can be claimed but would be subject to tax - see Travel and subsistence expenses for workers engaged through 'employment intermediaries' from 6 April 2016 - GOV.UK for examples of what is and isn't allowed.

Yep, if you have to travel around several sites, it is indeed one of those rare cases where expenses are legit.

Mileage

Hi Folks,

I've taken up a new contract and would like some advice on mileage.

"Finance have advised that contractors working on the Scottish Courts project can claim for any mileage over and above 60 miles a day at 20p per mile. Should be submitted with daily breakdown with timesheet weekly."

Is this legit?

Many thanks,

Johny
