tax relief for business mileage - am I eligible ?

naepace

Hi, I've been reading with interest the various threads on claiming tax relief on business mileage and wonder if it would apply in my circumstances.
I am in the civil service and about to be transfered to another workplace, which is further away than my current office. I will be paid 32p for each additional mile I will have to travel in getting to and from my fixed workplace for a period of 5 years. The 'travel expenses' are paid to me on a monthly basis as an increase to my basic wage. As a result these expenses are subject to income tax & national insurance. I will be doing around 20k miles a year.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

No tax relief on travel costs to and from your normal place of work.

i rang the tax office yesterday as my employer does not pay milage (im a home carer) they told me i can claim from my house to my first call (as its not a permanant place of work as i go to different houses each morning) and then any other calls i do, but forgot to ask i presume i can also claim from my last call going home, as i will be at a different house when i finsh each day. . . is this correct ? thank you
