Another Valuable Tip From Our Accountants In Twickenham, Travel Expenses

Today, another valuable tip from Harnett Accountants in Twickenham. The approved tax free mileage rate for 2011/2012 was 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles. However, did you know that this rate only applies per separate employment. So if you worked for Company A and drove for 8,000 miles, and then worked for company B and drove 5,000 miles, all of your miles would be deductible under the 45p approved rate, even though you would have driven more than 10,000 miles in total.
