Customer Question

I am emplyed part time...

I am emplyed part time [three mornings a week] by a charitable trust as a courier for which I recieve payment as well as expenses of 40p a mile,the 40p is to cover all the motoring expences [diesel,insurance,servicing and tyres] I incur while at work,in truth this amount does not cover the whole of the cost I incur. I purchased my car new in May of 2008 but the mileage I have incurred [28540] has greatly reduced the value of my car,as I have to use my car to carry out my duties is there any allowance I can claim.
I look forward to your answer
Regards Brian

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you are only entitled to claim a mileage allowance which is 40p for the first 10,000 business miles and 25p per business mile thereafter.
