Mileage Allowance
Discussion
As a 1 off I recently used my own car to travel to a customer. My employer has agreed to pay mileage allowance but asked for a fuel receipt several weeks later so they can claim the VAT. I don't normally keep petrol receipts but gave them one which was for a bit less fuel than I would have used. They've turned their nose up at this. Is it normal to have to produce receipts? I've never been asked for one before.

I'm only claiming for mileage allowance as specified by HMRC not for the actual fuel used. I did 220 miles. The car does about 40mpg so 5.5 gallons. I gave them a receipt for about £12 and used about £30 of fuel. So they are quibbling about being able to reclaiming £3.50 VAT. Seems a bit petty to me.
