I have to take the return distance to the office off any journey I make. I've got an understanding boss - she cycles, as does her boss (no idea about the rung above that).

I have a friend who cycled Aberdeen to Edinburgh after a business meeting, must ask if he claimed it on expenses...

Anything over the 20p a mile is taxable.

Used to get 17p per mile, until I got my CTW bike, now it's nothing, as the bike isn't strictly mine.

that mean they're responsible for repair and servicing in the same way as a company car?

Same here - only allowed the 'difference' but the Inland Revenue rule is from home to temporary location. Claiming the difference reduces the business miles to about 20-30 per week

We have electronic expenses and it calculates the route on a map.
Going to work is 1 mile less than the mileage I get on my bike and that's the direct route !

Looked at the map and its saying turn right off the dual carriageway when it's barried for 2 miles !!
In 30 years of living here it has never been any different.

HMRC rates are 20p/mile for bicycles and 40p/mile for cars - anything over that is taxable.

You can't claim for commuting to/from work, so if your normal commute is from A-B and you have a meeting first thing at C, you can only claim for B-C.

A slightly off-beam question here, but perhaps those knowledgeable about mileage rates and tax and stuff can answer it.

I usually cycle to work. Occasionally, I need to use my own van for work, and of course I claim a mileage allowance for this.

In order to use it for work, first I have to drive it to work. Can I claim the mileage for this, given that I would not normally do so ('cos I cycle)?
