Expenses not reimbursed by employer

    I understand the revenue will grant a tax credit/refund for expenses occured in the course of employment not reimbursed by the employer, subject to the usual rules.

    I have changed jobs recently and am in receipt of a car allowance, as I was in my previous employment (fully taxed of course, but not pensionable)

    Previous employer granted a mileage allowance to those with a car allowance, on a lower scale to those without a car allowance (fair enough)

    My new employer is saying that if I use my car for company purposes, its at my expense. I'm likely to be doing trips between Dublin and Cork on a regular basis. Employer is happy to pay for a train ticket (!) but not mileage or petrol. :confused: The car allowance is not conditional on owning a car.

    Anyone know if petrol costs would be considered not reimbursed by employer and therefore a tax credit would be due if I keep receipts?

    How complicated is this to claim (Revenue contacting employer to verify etc)?
