Travelling expenses

[vxwestie]

Just picked up some work from a national company a whopping 40miles from home (long distance for me)
what's the going rate people are charging for travelling these days?

40miles? just stick a tenner on for fuel; or charge by the mile - there are tables to follow for this sort of stuff https://www.gov.uk/expenses-and-benefits-business-travel-mileage/rules-for-tax

That's what I'd normally do. But just wanted to start off on the right foot incase it led to work further afield

I normally work close to home, but if the job is up to 40 miles this is included in the basic cost.
Above 40 miles I charge per hour for travel, this means that if you are in London and driving two miles you can charge the two hours it takes you.

Plus parking is a joke, Where I've had a job recently it was costing £37 a day. I feel who ever sets these extortionate parking prices should be wearing a balaclava lol.

Plus the CC which makes it over 50 notes before you even lift a flat head!

We get hit with can only charge traveling after 60 miles from base.

there is a guy on fb that just takes the parking fine as its cheaper than getting an all day ticket lol

Working in London I get my tools and materials delivered by courier and I go by train.

Normally I work within a 10mile radius of home

charge between 50p and £1 per mile. ( round trip). the 50p covers vehicle cost and anything over is your travel time.

The HMRC has a 'Benchmark Rate' of 45p per mile for the first 10k miles which then drops to someting like 25p per mile.
This is for people using their personal vehicles for work, and is supposed to cover insurance, mot, wear and tear, etc.
