P11d - basic Q re fuel

P11d - basic Q re fuel

Didn't find your answer?

employer supplies an employee with a fuel card.  employee uses this to fill his own car (no company car at all) and does both business and private mileage. 

the employee doesn't keep separate mileage records

what's the right thing to do, and if different, what is the practical thing to do.

Right thing is the practical thing

Hi Blok

 

The whole cost inc VAT goes on the Employees P11D, the Er pays Class 1 A, the Employer amends VAT records for scale charge if that too hasn't been accounted for and finally the Employer puts the correct rules and procedures in place to get it right going ahead.

Employee can attempt to rerduce the tax burden on SATR if evidence is available to support business mileage.

All fuel purchased goes on

All fuel purchased goes on P11D.  Employee claims tax relief at 45p per business mile (25p on excess over 10,000 miles per annum).

I agree with the above (2) postings. I think however that the Employee should be advised by the Employer to begin immediately to maintain full business mileage records (incl. dates, distance travelled and customer/client visited ~ after all this is what most employees have to do under the AMAP system).
