    Could anyone advise me when or if, in some instances higher mileage rates than those quoted for the civil service apply. (to keep within the tax free bracket)
    Thank you

    Never heard of any higher rates and would be surprised if there were.

    You'd have to agree such rates with your local District, but I've never actually seen it happen. Generally you can pay up to the CS rates tax free, and the amount in excess has to be taxed.

    "2.8 Rates of reimbursement to office holders and employees of expenses of travelling and subsistence

    Reimbursement of expenses of travel and subsistence by way of ‘flat rate’ allowances
    Provided the office holder or employee bears the cost of all expenses of travel necessarily incurred in the performance of the duties of his / her office or employment (and bears the cost of subsistence relating to such travel), Revenue will disregard for income tax purposes the reimbursement of expenses of travel and subsistence where such reimbursement is made by way of:
    (i) a flat rate up to, but not exceeding, the prevailing Civil Service rates for travel and subsistence (see Appendix re such rates);or
    (ii) a flat rate based on any other schedule of rates and related conditions of travel and subsistence which do no more than reimburse the office holder or employee for actual expenditure necessarily incurred.
    Scale (i) may be applied without specific Revenue approval where a satisfactory recording and internal control system is in operation.
    Revenue approval is required for scale (ii)."

    Thank you very much.
    The rates as of March 2009 are the ones that are in force now? For cars 1501cc or more, 59.07c per km for the first 6437km and 28.46c per km thereafter.
    I was getting confused between the older rates pre 2009 and also quoted cent/mile and forgot I was working in kilometres!
    Thank you again for clearing it up
