Car allowance and fuel card

I receive a company car allowance of £465pm for using my own car and a company supplied fuel card which includes fuel for private use.
I do about 20k business miles and 3k personal miles per year.
Can I claim any tax relief based on this

    That said, a sizeable amount of money every month for a car allowance, and no fuel costs even for personal mileage. No you won't get tax relief - far more likely that you will get taxed on this!

    If your employer is paying for fuel what are you looking for tax relief for?
