Fuel Card or claim mileage??

[CH11]

Hi!!

Hopefully someone on here can help.

I am due to start a new job and have been offered either a company fuel card or to claim my mileage back.

I am getting a company car.

Which is best financially? And is there a huge difference in the costs personally?

Thanks in advance.

Put your car details in there and check against your own perosnal circumstances.

how much is the mileage? 45p a mile for first 10k miles and 25p thereafter?

is there an additional allowance or mileage only?

there are many variables, and of course it depends on what car you are running (mpg)

Fuel only at HMRC rates will be between 12p and 18p a mile depending on the engine as mentioned just use comcar to work out if fuel card or expenses claims are better for you, if your employer allows for "free" personal usage you may find the fuel card is generally better.
