Mandatory NHS training costs.

I worked the NHS for years and never got 67p a mile, is this for when you are an essential car user i.e District Nurses get and enhanced rate because they have to drive for work but don't get a car or allowance like sales reps for example would?

The essential and regular user rates have been consolidated into the current rate. Mileage allowance has been around for decades.

My point was that the recommended is 45ppm yet the NHS pay 67ppm, it all adds up and 45ppm is more than adequate.

45ppm struggles to cover full cost these days

The HMRC rate is 45ppm! No employer is obligated to pay that though, one I worked for paid 15ppm and you had to claim tax relief on the remainder. It would be an easy place to cut costs. 45ppm is more than adequate to cover the petrol.

OP are they expecting that you would drive there and back in one day? If so that might be why they say they won't pay accommodation? If so maybe try explaining to your manager that doing it all in one day would be too much for yoi

You reckon? Disagree with you on this one, 45p is more than ample.

Using a personal vehicle for business use requires recompense beyond "to cover the petrol".

The allowance recognises wear and tear, additional expense which may be incurred through business insurance not to mention depreciation and it lets them off the hook providing and maintaining a fleet of pool cars.

I wouldn't use my car at .45ppm.

Perhaps you disagree with the AA as well...

Anything paid over 45p a mile will be subject to income tax.

Then you have an expensive car, my diesal which is 2ltr works out at about 15p per mile in fuel.

30p extra for wear and tear and insurances (and I am yet to find someone who has had to pay extra insurance for business use but even so the cost is likely to be a minute extra) etc is more than ample
