Yup my employer pays 40p for the first 10,000 miles then 25p per mile after that. Tis set by govt as far as tax is concerned iirc.

Most people agree 40 pence per mile as anything over that is tax deductible. I am a nanny employer ie a mum and this is what we pay. Incidentally, its what my employer pays too.

Its still fixed at 40p and will be for the next 10 years!! i'm sure thats what I read the other day but I can't remember where, I asked dp to check as he works for hmrc but he hasn't heard of any increases due.

Even if they don't give you the full 40p a mile you should be able to reclaim it by doing a tax return.

its been 40p a mile for ages and ages i think with the price of petrol it should be going up

I think 40p a mile is the standard rate

Record all journeys. I have a notepad in the car and record location plus mileage. Then submit a claim monthly to your employer. With luck they will agree to 40p per mile. Any more than that is taxable. That rate is up to 10000 miles a year. Rate drops after that mileage.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/03/2011 10:57

the going rate is 40p per mile, so £40 per 100 miles - or in your case for 20miles £8 per week

better to jot down the miles then submit toal each week/month rather than say i do x no of miles so £8 a week is fine

saying that it has been 40p for years and petrol keeps rising
