Company car & Fuel Card

[fattony]

hi

I think I’m right in this but wanted to double check, when an employee has a company car if they also have a fuel card then they pay additional tax on the fuel so they are better off paying the fuel themselves and claiming it back.

But do they claim back mileage allowance - is there a benchmark figure per mile ?

Thanks

They claim a mileage allowance. HMRC recommends rates for different engine sizes https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advisory-fuel-rates/advisory-fuel-rates-from-1-march-2016

It'll depend on many factors you need to do the calculations based on the car and the mileage.
