2161.0. "Is relocation mileage business mileage for tax purposes" by DGMT01::HANCOCK () Tue Oct 12 1993 13:15

    
    	Hi,
    		does anyone have experience/precedences of trying to get
    	relocation mileage counted as business mileage for tax purposes.I
    	have just copped a tax demand because I did less that 2500 business
    	miles in 92/93,but in fact I was using the car as much as ever,as
    	I had changed jobs,and opted for a years "relocation" mileage 
    	instead of moving house. I intend to forward the argument to the 
    	IR that,although this mileage was home to office,I relocated to
    	the company's benefit,and therefore this should count as business
    	mileage. It is charged at 13p/mile and paid at 8p/mile so it is
    	tax paid anyway.
    
    	Any comments/experiences please ?

	I looked into this. It's paid as salary - compensation for relocation, and it's taxed. If you want it to count as business miles, you need to do a deal up-front (if you can) toclaim it via your expenses, then it will go on your P11D, not your P60. I don't think you'll get anywhere, if you do, please let me know. Heather
2161.2	an experience	SUBURB::BRAYA	Certain Restrictions Apply	`Wed Oct 13 1993 12:55`	12
	Maybe the system has changed in the last few years, but when I relocated to Reading many years ago, I had to claim for relocation miles as one would claim for business miles, except that it would be on a relocation claim form. However, even doing this did not qualify my mileage for being counted for tax purposes. (in that case it could have pushed me above the 18,000 miles level). I didn't pursue this with the IR. Andy
2161.3	Normal Place of Work	NEWOA::FIDO_T	Conation is the key	`Wed Oct 13 1993 14:32`	9
	It is all to do with the fact the travelling from home to your "normal place of work" is not allowable as business mileage. The catch is that the IR decide where your "normal place of work" is. Given that you have relocated ( by accepting the relocation deal ), I can't see that you have any hope of claiming this mileage as valid business mileage. Terry
2161.4		COMICS::FISCHER	I can always sleep standing up	`Wed Oct 13 1993 16:44`	6
	When I joined, I claimed relocation milage on a standard expense claim form. The miles appeared on my P11D, but it didn't matter much then 'cos it was my own car. Ian
