Hi everyone,

One of our employees has asked if we can help with the cost of her fuel for getting between jobs. We have thought about giving her £10p/w ontop of her wages to cover half of her weely fuel. The problem I have is this, how do I put his onto the P11 so she does not get taxed on this money. She earns just under the tax limit at the moment so even just adding £10 will knock he over the limit. Does she then have to keep a record of her milage and fuel costs? Do i need any forms from the inland rev? I have been thier website but I can't seem to find what i'm looking for

A lot depends upon the size of her engine but you can pay her a mileage allowance and a proportion of that you can claim VAT back on (for the fuel element).

I'm afraid I can't see how she will be able to hide it from the Inland Revenue. If you just give it to her in her hand without recording it you won't be able to account for it so will have to pay the tax on it yourself. Either way they'll get it.

She would not need to hide it as you can claim 40p a mike for first 10K miles a year

Would that not have to go on her P11D though?

Many thanks to all who have replied. I think I will record it in the wages book as being paid to her and from what I can gather from the online leaflets from IR she doesn't have to pay tax or NI on it. New rules or something?
