Mileage claims

Hi I’m told by my employer you can claim upto 0.45 for mileage used for work
My employer pays 0.20 so I have put in a claim for the other 0.25 they have refused saying I paid tax that year and received an allowance in my tax code? I got the flat rate job allowance £125 for workwear does this include mileage? As my mileage claim was £305 very confusing

This should be in the cutting tax forum?

I'm assuming 'they' are tax office. You do realise you are not entitled to the full amount of your claim. You get tax relief if you paid tax......did you actually pay tax?

It depends on if you've driven under or over 10,000 miles in a tax year. If your employer chooses to set a mileage allowance that is below the HMRC rates, you can claim Mileage Allowance Relief. You can do this by completing a p87 form with HMRC.

Is that what you did??
