5.
Company Van drivers - Can Mileage Log
provide help with the Tax benefit
changes on 6th April 2007?
Yes, From April 6,
the scale charge for unrestricted
private van use will rise from £500 to
£3,000, with an additional £500 charge
for employer-provided fuel used
privately. Under these rules, basic rate
taxpayers who choose to have unlimited
private van use will pay 22% of £3,000,
equal to £660 benefit-in-kind tax from
2007 - up from the current £110 a year -
and a further £110 for using
company-funded fuel privately. The
equivalent charge for 40% tax-paying van
drivers will be £1,200 plus a £200 fuel
charge. Employers' National Insurance
contributions will also soar.
HM Revenue & Customs says commuting to
work is not classed as private use, and
that van drivers on their way to work
can stop for a paper and a bar of
chocolate without incurring a tax
charge!
Using Mileage Log Van Drivers can
quickly log all business journeys and
any 'commutable' journeys. Commutable
journeys can be saved as favourites
allowing the driver very quick
submission of all journeys for a period,
and these are clearly identified through
the authorising and processing stages.
Whether you need drivers to pay for
private fuel costs or just need to
ensure HMRC complaint records are kept
Mileage Log does it. Supported Company
Van driver scenarios are: Private and
Business, or business only fuel benefit.
Fuel payment types: Driver pays and
claims, Fuel or Company cards. VAT
calculations by actual fuel costs. |

6.We
have a mixture of driver types: company
car drivers, drivers using their own
cars and vans. We do not use fuel cards.
Can Mileage Log help us?
Yes,
this is where Mileage Log excels. All
types of drivers are handled and Mileage
Log calculates reimbursements to
drivers. It also calculates the VAT on
business Mileage and works with any of
your chosen schemes. It would also work
well if only a selection of your drivers
have fuel cards. |

7.What
reimbursement schemes are supported?
Mileage Log supports:
- HMRC advisory rates or company defined
rates for company cars based on engine
size and fuel type
- MAPs including passenger rates for
Cash Allowance/Casual drivers or your
own defined MAPs.
For calculating private mileage costs
where drivers only receive business
mileage and fuel is purchased on a Fuel
or company credit card, Mileage Log can
use HMRC advisory fuel costs, the actual
cost of fuel used or your own defined
rates. Running all three private mileage
cost schemes together provides a useful
comparison tool. |

8.Some
of our Company car Drivers have Fuel
cards and we currently use the VAT Scale
charge. How will Mileage Log benefit us?
There
are few situations where it is more
beneficial for a company to use the VAT
scale charge system. As Mile Log stores
accurate business and private mileage
records, all the appropriate VAT can be
claimed on fuel purchased for business
journeys.
The differences in VAT reclamation can
be considerable and we are able to
perform calculations to assist you in
your decisions as whether to apply VAT
scale charges or not. Please
contact us for
more details. |

quickly? Can I import data from our

servers only our Support staff have the
ability to import data for you.
On consultation and provision of the
required data we will ensure your
existing data is imported correctly.
