Mileage Sheets

    I get requested by the office to fill in mileage sheets for the end of the month for record. In theory every journey.

    To be quite frank its a pain in the ass. I am the boss, its a company car that is used almost entirely for business use. And as it is i am just making it up at the end of the month anyway.

    I drive around 60,000 km a year with multiple journeys per day.

    Can anybody tell me. Is there actually a requirement to keep a record of ,mileage on a company vehicle with regard to returns/audits/accounts etc.

    Kind regards

    The revenue request that you keep a record of business mileage on a company vehicle
    What kind of record keeping are employers required to keep in relation to establishing the business mileage incurred by an employee?
    Employers must put in place some mechanism whereby business mileage covered by employees is recorded e.g. the employee could keep a log book showing business journeys.

    This is not a new requirement. Under existing arrangements, (which applied up to an including the 2003 tax year) employers are required to keep similar records for the purposes of completing forms P11D annually. Also, employees using the alternative basis for calculating benefit in kind on a company car are required to keep a log book under existing arrangements. The log book must be certified by the employer, as being to the best of his/her knowledge and belief, true and accurate.
