Just wondering what mileage do each of you guys complete in a day?

[Dean Aspects]

I do about 200 miles per week but i also use my van for private use aswell so probably average is around 150 miles per week

I do about 50-80 miles per week average.

All my work is within 5 miles, but it's not always arranged that well, and I may come home for lunch, or pop back to an area later for one who wasn't in.

I've had weeks where I've probably done 100+ miles, but also ones where I've done 20.

[Sir Squeaky]

Just thought...I could work it out.

I got my van brand new, so I can tell exactly.
I'll find out tomorrow.

[Dean Aspects]

That reminded me that i keep a record of mileage in george
I have done 5800 miles in 36 weeks so thats just over 160 miles per week on average slightly less than i thought

I keep a log book with the idea that if I ever get around to it I'll make some sort of mileage claim when it comes to the tax return.

[Paul Coleman]

I do between 200 and 300 a week usually.  Occasionally, on a very easy week, it might drop to 150.  Some personal mileage comes out of that too as my van is my only vehicle.

Did 300 miles yesterday

thanks guys, gives me a rough idea as to the fuel costs as well. need to know how much mileage gonna do if i am to lease a vehicle!

[S.A.J]

We average about 100 miles a week.

I did 16,000 miles last year and got back £5500 from the tax man. If I went the route of claiming fuel etc.. would have only been able to claim £3200, so a nice big thank you to Mr. Tax Man

[LWC]

i travel 50 miles a day before ive even worked...i do around 4 to 500 miles a week

[Bonkors]

On what basis were you able to claim £5.5k?

good question!

[Bonkors]

I would appreciate if you knew as it may help a lot of other members. Could it be a tax loophole?

[DASERVICES]

£0.40p for first 10k, then £0.25 after.

But you cannot claim any other expenses related to your van/car.

You have two options mileage or running costs.

You cannot swop or change the options only when you have a new car/van.

All info is on the IR site.
