Am i getting a good deal here?

MrDan

Just a quick question and i wondered if anyone could help,

I get a car through work and its done as a car allowance, but i never really see the money i just get a fully mentained car, but have to put my own fuel in it and claim back 13p a mile for works miles, which is 95% of my mileage,

wouldnt be too bad but the car costs 14 - 17 a mile to run depending on conditions, is this a good deal and should i just keep my mouth shut or can i claim the difference back?

I know 3 p a mile dosent sound like much but i do allot of miles some months!!

Well, I do 90 miles a day just going to and from work on my own petrol and my own car. I also have to pay my own tax (£200pa approx), insurance (£35 per month) and maintenance.

Now ask yourself if you're getting a good deal

Then add in tax costs, mot costs and servicing

Claim back your entitlement on the difference from the 40p you are allowed and the 13p you get, from the taxman.
