nannies - mileage.... how much??

[fairimum]

I am a Nanny and just sorting mileage etc - not mentioned in contract but was agreed would be paid - they are suggesting 30p per mile (as this is what they get) - everyone I have mentioned it too seems to think this is low... What do you think? What do you get?

Thank you

hmrc rates (ie the max you can get without paying tax) are 40p for first 10,000 miles per annum then 25p thereafter.

most people I know (not nannies) get 40p.

fwiw if you get less than 40p you can claim back the tax relief on the difference.

I think it depends on what car you have.

The government allow up to 40p per mile before it is a taxable benefit.

Most nannies I know get the 40p per mile. I drive a small 1.6 rover and get 30p per mile and it easily covers my mileage and some for 'wear and tear'. I'm also more than happy with this as my bosses contribute towards my petrol for getting to and from work as well (though this is not the norm for nannies)

HMRC: Mileage Rates
40p per mile is usual. This is to help compensate for Fuel, the Wear & Tear, higher insurance premium (contact Morton Michel for suitable car insurance)

40p is the norm

but some of my friends employers get fed up with high petrol bills,school runs etc soon add up

i do minium of 50miles a day with school/nursery drop off 6times a day plus any other activites we do

luckily i get a car but if i didnt (and wouldnt take a job without a car) but would mean £60min a week in costs
