Claiming Back Mileage

[extremeez]

wow, however it is work related. I mean i don't go to any sort of office, first thing in the morning, i just drive from my house to work. To be honest i care less for driving within the city i work and claiming mileage back just for that. I travel as less 70 miles from my home to place of work on average. Can't i just claim it all back, my boss is the one who agrees this is how it works, i just needed more advice to back up his words you see.

Now then, if your home is considered your base, your place of work, ie they hired you to work from home, then you can claim that mileage to the fiorst and from the last customers addresses.

yeahhh, now thats what i want to hear, i do travel with my own vehicle for work and receiving no expenses to support my travelling costs. So am happy to hear that am in the clear thanks for your help, much appreciated.

make sure that is the case though, so if ever you were checked on, you have it in writing from your employer that you are required to work 'from home'.

[extremeez]

ok ok, i understand where your getting at. do i do any sort of forms for claiming back these miles or not ??? ... and as well as claiming back tax for some equipment i had to buy ???

[Indizine]

you would normally stick in the claim to your employer as expenses of the business.

Ohhh ok ok, so this will be sorted around next year then knowing my boss. Just before April/May ... well thanks for your help, much appreciated

you should put claim in each month, usually by a deadline they have for sortig out your pay, wher they have a cut off for doing the payroll, and any expenses are then incoluded in that months pay, after you have submitted your claim form. Make sure you get your boss to approve and sign off the claim so you are clear that when you are buying things on behalf of his business, you are being reimbursed.

ok well thank for letting me know ... Where to get form or better worded what form ? Is it the p85/87 :S

[Indizine]

Its whatever claim form your employer issues for you to use.
