Mileage Allowance Relief Query

TM1976

No, 6 years is the statute of limitations. Your best bet is to look in detail at the years you can and see if you could claim more than you have already.

eg., did you do any mileage in your own car that meets the discription of business mileage but you didn't get reimbursed at all. For instance were you ever posted to a temporary location?

No I don't think so, if I travel to another site then I put this down as business mileage as it is not at temporary base.

On another point, my fiancee was relocated and is paid 24 pence for the different in relocation and this is taxable. Is there anything that can be re-claimed here?

Depends whether the location is deemed temporary or permanent.

If the location is temporary, ie she is expected to return to her original workplace then she can claim tax relief on in line with the AMAP rate.

If it is classed as a permanent location then she is being paid for her commute which is a taxable benefit.

I she is at the location for more than 2 years is is deemed as permanent anyway so technically her mileage could become taxable even if it was a temporary mileage originally. I think there would be a way of getting around this via a contractual change if it happenned though.

Really we need a bit more info about here journey/posting to consider whether it is permanent or temporary. I suspect it's temporary if her employer is paying mileage.
