Claiming Tax Relief on Company Car

Ro13ert

Hi, I am looking for any help at all regarding claiming for Tax Relief on a Company Car.

Apologies if this isn't the right way to go about it...

I have had a company car for a year now, which I pay towards through my tax. When I claim my diesel from the company I work for they give me 9p for every mile. This does not even cover the actual costs of the diesel, when I last worked this out it was about 13p a mile I needed to break even, so the difference I am having to pay.

Someone told me I can claim tax relief on the fuel I put into the company car but when I have looked into this I am bamboozled by the various diffferent options and how vague the tax site is and the forms to be completed.

I am hoping someone has done this before and can point me in the right direction or even let me know what I can actually claim for and what I can't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

What engine size is the car, 9p is correct for under 1600cc. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advisory-fuel-rates/advisory-fuel-rates-from-1-march-2016
You can claim tax relief on the difference between the advisory rate and what the company pay you. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-income-tax-relief-for-your-employment-expenses-p87

Yea the car is under 1600cc, so if my work are giving me 9p per mile and that is what the recommend rate is then I can't claim anything?

Can your employer not give you a fuel card and you pay back your private mileage at 9 ppm

Company car drivers cannot claim the difference between the advisory rates and what the company pay,
