Mileage query???
Permalink Closed


Hello, I was wandering if somebody could please clarify the procedure for mileage. I have just started a Companies accounts and I am preparing to do the Vat return but few things have confused me lately as follows: I know that the directors can claim 45p for the first 10,000 miles then 25p there after so would x amount be cr directors loan dr travel expenses then cr bank dr the directors account (which is set up as a supplier) Then for vat purposes can the whole 20% of the vat charged for fuel still be claimed? And finally where does the fuel element come into it? I may be confusing myself and reading into this too much but just can't seem to fun a solid answer. Many thanks

Hi,

The mileage rates are compete compensation for the use of an employee / directors / owners car.

Only a small part of the 45p/25p relates to fuel and VAT can only be claimed against that part, not the whole mileage claim.

For a good reference point avoid the current debate on car fuel which will only serve to confuse and go instead to this thread :

Hope that helps,

kind regards,

Shaun.

p.s. your double entry seems correct.

Cr DLA
Dr Motor Expenses

Cr Bank (payment to director)
Dr DLA

Or miss out the DLA completely and go straight to

Dr Motor Expenses
Cr Bank (Payment to director)
