Car allowance - claim vat back?

Steak_boy_19

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.....
looking for a clear answer as i’ve found conflicting answers.

i get a car allowance through my job (i am NOT self employed). i get the allowance in my monthly salary and this is taxed as normal. 

I lease a car as a personal car so i pay vat on the monthly lease also.
i probably do about 25k miles a year and i’d say less than 10/15% of that is personal mileage. I’ve been told i can claim some of the vat back on insurance and lease costs as the vehicle is mainly used for business purposes. I can’t find a definitive answer! Any help?
note, my company pay for the diesel and as i log mileage i get charged the personal mileage, so not worried about petrol/diesel vat claims etc. 

Thanks in advance all.

Try the cutting tax forum and the employment forum, rather than the benefits board.

Why aren't you asking the person who told you this???
