RE: Travel Expenses for property Buseiness
Hi,
You can choose to either claim the fixed rate per mile or the actual running costs. However once you have used the mileage rate basis for a vehicle it must be used from year to year for as long as the vehicle is used. No actual expenditure or capital allowances can be claimed in relation to that vehicle.
The business can only change to or from an actual basis when a vehicle is replaced. The following links give more details and explain when travelling costs can be claimed:
PIM2220 - Deductions: main types of expense: travelling expenses
PIM2010 - Deductions: general rules: applying the wholly & exclusively rule
Thank you. -
RE: Income from Foreign Property...Awful Exchange rates!
Hi,
The SA notes for completion of Sa106 foreign income show that if you put any amounts on page F 2 and page F 3, you convert the income into UK pounds using the exchange rate at the time the income arose.
If you are not sure, ask your tax adviser or see here:
HMRC yearly average and spot rates
You should strictly use the exchange rate at the time the payment was made or failing that use the monthly exchange rate from the list. If you still disagree with these amounts you will need to contact us in writing.
Thank you. -
