Clarification on Mileage Allowance Relief for Personal Diesel Car
Hi, I'm considering getting an electric car through the 'Tusker scheme' and have a couple of questions about mileage reimbursement and Mileage Allowance Relief (MAR). Here’s my situation: Tusker Electric Car: I know I would only be able to claim 8p per mile for business travel with this car through my employer. This would be classed as a 'company car' if I have understood correctly. Personal Diesel Car: I also have a personal diesel car that I use for longer business trips. Question: My employer claims that they can only reimburse me at the lower rate (e.g., 8p per mile) regardless of which car I use. Can I claim the difference when using my private diesel car using the mileage allowance relief MAR (via self assessment?) Thanks!
