Car Mileage claims with passenger

[NickFitz]

Where would you stand if two contractors shared a trip to work, each driving on alternate days? Would you just claim half each?

They should race their Aston Martins to work each day, loser buys lunch (and puts it on expenses as business entertainment). Then they can each claim it all.

On a slightly different tack, if my wife (company secretary) drives me to the station in the morning and picks me up at night (i.e. two round trips of 6 miles each) can I claim mileage of 6 or 12 miles?

and her salary as a chauffeur

Well if we're actually doing it every day is it a legitimate expense?

This is not pennies, its almost an extra £50 a month (240 miles versus 120 @ 0.40).

Lol - good skills. squeeze for as much as you can get. You have learnt well young padwan.

Fellow Contractor

Who is the passenger - employee, client, neither? What is the purpose of the journey?

The Passenger is a fellow Contractor working for the same, and on the same job

You can claim an extra 5p per mile if the passenger is a fellow employee, so this probably would not apply to most contractors.
