Hospital Staff Car Parking

On a side note, make sure that you get a refund from the revenue , you are allowed I think 45p a mile, and you claim back a percentage of that

Indeed, claim against tax 45p/mile (up to 10,000 miles, less thereafter) minus what you get paid in mileage costs.

Also, assuming your normal place of work is not the hospital (e.g. home based with travel to patients), then you can claim the parking costs against tax as a legitimate expense. (IANA accountant, so you'd need to check.)

P.S. Ignore the tickets.

I would be on to your union about the 10p a mile scam.

Thanks everyone. It is a lease car leased from the hospital through a private company, can't remember what its called Lease Car Plan? But all charges would go through me, so they wont know anything about it I hope. Just worried when I give my car back in July 2013 they might know somehow? Definitely wouldn't do a lease car again, as my PAYE has increased, and I only get 10p per mile for diesel, so basically I have to pay to do my job, so the same as paying to park when I'm ONCALL!
Will look forward to Call The Midwife on Sunday with my glass of wine

PPCs get the registered keeper's details from the DVLA = the lease company. Then they will write to the lease company won't they?

I work at exeter too! (in fact mostly on labour ward providing certain analgesia services).

I've had loads and loads of these "PCN/invoices"

Basically put it in the bin, or use it to light the fire at home since it is quite cold out.

What happens after a month or so:

Green letter (sometimes): from parking collection services demanding more money

Red striped letter 1, 2, & 3. from debt collection plus. all very threatening, court action, CCJ, blah blah blah.

Eventually they give up. remember DO NOT CONTACT them as this simply confirms your address to them.

ps PM me with your name if you want to discuss it further and i will find you next time i'm on LW.

pps have you seen the thing on IAN today about parking 'fines' - made me chuckle!!!!

Except they were not FINES, but unenforceable invoices.

As has been mentioned, you can claim tax relief on the difference between what you are paid per mile and 45p for the first 10,000 miles and then to 25p per mile thereafter.

A word of warning, if you do this HMRC generally put this in your tax code as tax relief for future years and will stay there until you tell them to remove it.

This becomes a problem if you do less miles than you originally claimed for or stop being paid mileage. Some of our employees have fallen into that trap.

Whatdoiknow,

The easiest way is to claim it annually using actual figures. I do it that way for my wife.
