I've just joined a new business and getting the grips with the processes here. One of my queries is on private mileage for company vans / cars.
All employees who drive one hold a fuel card and the company covers the fuel cost, recovering the input tax in full.
At the end of each month the employees submit their private mileage total, (just a total number no breakdown), and this is deducted from their salary and the advisory fuel rate. VAT is also charged to output tax on the total sum.
I think first off there needs to be a much more detailed log of the mileage to prove the business/private mileage.
Is the VAT treated appropriately? At previous places we have used the VAT fuel scale charge but it isn't used here.
Just after some advice from those more up on this area of knowledge than me.
Many thanks
