    2) In January 2012 I transferred to another part of the company whose car policy is different again. They provided me a car....Avensis 2.0D but I have to claim my business mileage back. Now the trip to work and back costs around £30 and my boss won't let me claim this back as business mileage (he will only let me claim for journeys to and from customers) - No Negotiation!
    Question is - can/could I claim anything?

    Your boss is quite right, there's no tax allowance on commuting costs. I searched and searched for something I could do about my over-£4k rail season ticket and HMRC are pretty clear sadly (unless you're a contractor outside PAYE, and base yourself closer to home, travelling to your client as required...)
