Years ago one of the guys that ran the garage I had my van serviced at claimed business use, I can't remember the numbers but if you did over so many miles you paid a lot less tax
He did over the miles so claimed the lower rate, only they came in and questioned him, worked out he spent so many days in the office, travel to work doesn't count so they knocked that off and he was under
The sent him a bill for the last 7 years, can't remember what it was but it was a lot
Yes before co2 emissions took over, would have been 20 years ago.
It was if you did 18k business miles a year, correct me if I've got the number wrong.
It was crazy really, if you were short of achieving that figure it made a big difference, so you ended up say visiting a customer with colleagues all in individual cars when you could have all used one, just to get your annual mileage.
