Good afternoon,
I am new, and probably asking the question that has been asked a thousand times before so please forgive me.
I have a car allowance paid by my employee which I pay tax on every month (as if it was my salary)
I have a fuel card which I used for both business and private mileage - My company do not stop me anything for this.
In my P11D the allocation was a benefit in kind of 1495.91 GBP - Which is the amount I have spent on fuel.
I have now received a tax bill for 800.00 GBP (the tax on this amount at 40% roughly)
Of course 90% of the 1495.91 was actually spent on business mileage (I have a VW Camper that I drive at the weekend and also my wifes car) therefore I should not be paying the tax on the full amount.
I have read a lot of threads saying that I should use the 45p per mile calculation?
For example:
I have done 9867 Business mileage @ 45p per mile = 4440.15 GBP
I have spent = 1495.91 GBP on fuel
4440.15 minus 1495.91 = 2944.24 GBP (the difference)
Would that mean that HMRC owe me the tax on the difference?
How do I go about claiming to ensure that I don't pay the additional tax.
Any help would be appreciated, I have spoken to HMRC and my employer but it looks like im talking rubbish
Thank you
Damien
