NHS Salary Sacrifice lease car - how much per mile business mileage?

[Deleted User]

Bit confused about this.

At the moment, if its your own car its 45p a mile, BUT if you take a salary sacrifice NHS lease car you only get something like 15p a mile (depends if its petrol or diesel). My wife does this and people with the lease car do get this reduced amount.

But surely this is costing you a LOT in wasted expenses. 30p a mile less can add up to a lot.

For instance, 500 business miles a month means £150 less expenses payments. So the amount you pay for the NHS lease car has got to be £150 cheaper than you can get on a personal lease. Otherwise, you're better off doing this.

From what I've seen, NHS scheme does provide good deals but not THAT good. Possibly good for staff who get a car and do little or no business mileage.

Am I right here?

But you're missing the tax relief that she can claim on the 30p (up to 10k miles)


Given your previous posts surely the time to investigate/cost this was before doing it rather than complaining afterwards

Not done yet. Planning at the moment.

Not sure what you mean about the 30p?

This was discussed before, the salary sacrifice car from NHS was considered a company car and not a personal one.
