Hi
This is my first post...hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can assist...
I have a hybrid company car circa 50g/km. I also tax on fuel benefit ie the company fully funds all fuel.
I need to know if I can claim back electricity for charging at home for business miles, arguably being fully funded all miles are business miles in a way.
I’ve found lots of info ref charging at the place of work at that electricity is not regarded as fuel etc but can’t find anything at the moment that looks based on fact with reference to charging at home. My charger has an in line meter so it would be messy I could record this after every charge. The lady that looks after our accounts thinks any reimbursement would be a benefit and taxable which seems rather odd given I’m already paying tax on the fuel element of the car BIK and that electricity provided for charging hybrids in the workplace is not regarded as fuel and is not taxable.
Could someone provide any assistance on the above and any elements of the EIM that would provide guidance. I’m happy either way if I am to be taxed on any reimbursement I’ll simply stop charging my vehicle at my home which will just mean more actual fuel is used which will result in more company fuel used - mileage on battery actually equates to be cheaper than petrol despite the low range.
Thank you
