???

Maybe ask the full question and you'll get an answer - until then the rules are here

Rates and allowances: travel — mileage and fuel allowances - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Business miles are covered, but not your regular journey to and from "the office" assuming that is your regular place of work

(if that is what you are asking)

What is your actual question?

Firstly, commuting from home to your regular place of work is not an allowable expense - that's down to you to fund out of your own pocket.

Secondly, the official rate of 45p a mile is designed to cover wear & tear.  And stuff like maintenance, fuel, tax, MOT, basically all the costs associated with running a car.  Well, a proportion of it, on the assumption that you're using the car for personal use as well.

That's why the rate drops to 25p after 10,000 miles - the theory being that the higher rate for the first 10,000 miles will have covered the "running costs" as it were, from then on it's pretty much just covering fuel costs.

It's not an exact science, of course, but that's the idea behind it.

Not sure if this helps to answer whatever question it is you're asking?

The government doesn't fund your expenses - your employer does. The government simply doesn't tax it, up to the limits discussed.

However, the limits are for business miles, not commuting.

Looked at his previous posts, has form for strange partial queries.

I don't know, how much do you expense at 45pence per mile at 190 miles?

I love quizzes.

My guess is he’s asking how much it actually costs to run a car for 190 miles and will he have anything left over out of 45 pence per mile.
