    Meant as in what company...

    Companies usually just decide a milage themselves, and the terms of it. Ask someone in HR where you work about it.

    There are limits on the milage expense rates that may be paid tax-free. These limits are defined asbeing whatever the civil service rates are. Therefore those rates are quite often what's paid. They should be available on the web somewhere.

    Google E105/1/0628 or circular 17/2006 from the Department of Finance.

    That's a circular which the Department of Finance has issued advising the maximum rates which Departments pay tax free for motor travel. I don't know what the reduced rate applies to.

    The rates are based on engine capacity bands so for up to 1200cc you could get up to 83.92 c per mile up to 4,000 miles in a year, that should cover you unless you're on a Hayabusa.

    But as another poster said, these are the maximum rates that can be paid tax free - I'm also not sure that this circular, dating from 2006 as it does is the most up to date one- and depending on who you work for it's at the discretion of the firm and HR should have a policy on this as to what they can pay tax free.

    If you're in the private sector you might find that your employer is nowhere near as generous as the public purse when it comes to paying mileage, I know mine doesn't pay me €1.26 a mile for the first 4,000 miles.
