    A quick question. Over the weekend I got into a discussion about how revenue handle employee expenses and in particular the difference between having a work car with a fuel card and not having that luxury and having to submit expenses.

    One example raised during the discussion was that a private sector employee was being paid her fuel expenses, 12c per KM, but that 32km had to be taken off the journey (16km off the journey to and from her work place). Apparently this is a revenue rule, but I couldn't locate information on it and nobody else seemed to have heard about it either.

    Anybody have the information on this? Does such a policy exist?

    Is the 32k her normal journey from her home to/from work? If so that's where the issue is. Revenue allow mileage tax free from the ordinary place of business to the destination x, not from home to destination x. Your normal commuter miles (which you would accrue daily travelling to and from your normal place of business) are not allowable tax free as you would normally make this trip on a working day anyway. See leaflet IT51 from Revenue, it explains that element in detail.
