Claiming Mileage Costs From Employers.
Discussion
Mrs F has a part-time job with a fledgling company. All legitimate, PAYE and the like is taken care of, she's an employee and not self employed. The owners of the business are really nice people if a little un-focussed in certain areas so I don't see this as being a case of them avoiding their liablities, more one of them just not thinking about it.
And here's the problem. Her duties include attending auditions, rehearsals and shows at a number of venues which is racking up the miles. While I fully appreciate that commuting costs should be hers the cost of trekking around these places is eating into what is, frankly, pin money. In the short term it wouldn't be a problem but as the business grows her job is likely to become full-time so I think it's best to set about establishing ground rules early on. Her contract, by the way, doesn't cover this.
In the event that they were to pay her mileage am I right in thinking that it would eventually be offset against their tax liabilities, effectively not leaving them out of pocket?
