Car expenses claims

[LordGrover]

How does that work?

I am currently paid/reimbursed 0.45 /mile for my petrol powered car and attach petrol receipts for employer to (I assume) claim VAT.

Will I still be able to claim 0.45 /mile with no receipts?

A question for my HR Dept, but anyone here have experience?

Don’t know about specific mileage claim, but my friend charges his at work which is apparently BIK free, and then charges the company 4ppm when it’s on business related mileage.

I don’t know what the situation is if you can’t charge at work.

For a company provided vehicle. You can claim back 4ppm for a EV.

I have a hybrid plug in and I claim back 12ppm.

For a personal car you can claim the difference between what the company pays you and the AMAP rate

If it's your own car used for business (doesn't matter if ICE or EV) your company can reimburse you 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles per year, 25p per mile thereafter tax free for you.

They also don't pay employers NI on those reimbursements, which is why some companies prefer them to cash allowances (which have 13.8% NI cost on top).

You can claim back from your employer up to the HMRC advisory rates without tax liability.
If your employer pays you less than the advisory rates then you can claim back the tax on the difference from HMRC.
If you employer pays you more than the advisory rates than the excess is subject to tax.
This applies whether it is a company car or a private car, just the advisory rate changes.

The advisory fuel rate of 45p per mile (for the first 10,000 miles) for private cars does not vary with fuel type. You are able to claim up to that amount from your employer without tax liability. What your employer chooses to pay you is up to them. If they pay you less than 45p per mile then you can claim the tax back on the difference from HMRC.

What about if it's on the EV salary sacrifice scheme guys?

[51mes]

I have an ev on a car allowance on which I pay tax.

I claim the 45p/10p mileage rate. I would assume salary sacrifice will operate in the same way.

Salary sacrifice is a company car in HMRC world, so you will only get 4p per mile business mileage

That's me then.
My own car with occasional business use; maybe 1,000 p.a.
It's only £450, but every little helps.

More generally: we switched to mileage only payments a few years ago. That's not been going well for the last year or so!
