I get the feeling that people management is something that's been put on you rather than something you've developed in to.

Consider it from the employees side as well. They're being pulled into the office so would consider this a company request. Company requests presence has usually meant company pays the fuel bill. Company doesnt pay fuel bill gives the employee two choices, either pick it up themselves or not go to office.

They might be happy and completely understand the position. But if you just go straight in with no plan B you're going to come away from it worse off in the long run. Unless you already had a plan and havent included the details of that of course.

With respect, I came here asking for advice on the legal/tax implications of the situation, not on how to manage my employee, that element I am more than comfortable with.

Isn't the issue more that if expenses are (and have been) claimed for the mileage, then there are is a tax liability here?

It doesn't matter whether the employer minds the employee charging them for the mileage, if it's not an allowable expense then it is simply extra taxable income.

Or is that not correct?

Precisely.
