expenses

i think travel expenses off set against taxable income should be dictated by HMRC not the client!" if your client is paying you 0.13p sounds like it should be in addition to, as i dont think they' can tell you' what your travel should be. I can ask my accountant he doesnt charge me for advice ..let me know hope that helps'

Does the client pay your brolly the 13p a mile, or you personally. If the former, then you should claim 40p a mile from the brolly. If the latter, in your tax return you put down the mileage, and you'll get a deduction on your tax bill, equal to the tax on 27p. So if you're basic rate, that'll be about 5p a mile. Or 10p if you're a higher rate tax payer.

Yes. But this will be taken from your "salary".

Essentially your not subjected to the tax on that 40p.

You could also do this through a self assessment tax return.

Hi,

I have a quick query i need answered, Im working for a client who pays a measly 0.13 pence per mile for travel this barely covers the amount of fuel i use and doesnt even begin to cover wear and tear etc on my car. I go through a brolly and i was wondering can i still claim the goverments 40pence per mile through them as well?

Thanks in advance.
