You do NO personal miles what so ever?
You don't go to work in it? Or is your home an office according to your contract of employment?

You don't ever go to shop? Or to doctors?

You could get a fuel card from your employer and still keep milage diary and declare any personal miles to your payroll department so then they can deduct the personal mileage from your payroll.

Or not and then your employer will declare all the fuel you have used on P11D and then you will have to prove to HMRC that all the miles were business miles

ANY, I am based at home. Although I do use the car for personal journeys, these re maybe only 10% of the total. I would expect to pay for personal fuel, but feel that at the moment it's costing me each month, albeit I can claim back the tax relief next year.

As you do some personal miles then you need to repay your employer personal mileage as it happens via payroll.

It doesn't matter how little or big the personal mileage is, unless they are clearly separated you will pay the tax for having a benefit.

Just keep that in mind when you get the fuel card from your employer.

If you do mostly business mileage I agree that it is more cost efficient for you to have business fuel card.
