CLaiming Mileage allowence

A question about : CLaiming Mileage allowence

Can anyone help me, as the GOV do seem interested. My husband is a lorry driver and registered as a Ltd co. He works mainly through an agency. He doesn't own his own lorry. Where can I find out if he can claim mileage for travelling to an from the different companies he works for.

Thanks all

Best answers:

• So this is use of his personal car to get to his clients sites?
• You can set yourself up as a limited company, offering services as lorry driver, and sign up to an agency who finds you work.
  It's similar to what some chauffeurs do. They set up a limited company, offering their services, and make themselves known/available to agencies who find them work, driving their client's car (which is really the same job, except driving a different vehicle and driving people around rather than goods).
• If it is "claiming" it as an expense against tax, then it is simple, he just claims so much per mile.
  If it is "claiming" it as an expense from the companies he works for, it is not so much a claim as a charge so it will have to be factored into the price he charges the company for his services. Companies will generally take the lowest price no matter how far their drivers have to drive to pick up their lorry.
