I get £3500 a year in car allowance.
It works out about £290 a month before tax I am taxed normally on it (well normal for me)
I only get the inland revenue advised rates for mileage- currently on a car up to 2000cc thats 11p a mile and after August the 1st it will be 13p.
The rest of money up to 40p I can claim back at the end of the year using form P87.
I use this websites tax calculators to help me out... but they seem to have a problem with their K code calculations- the others seem to tally with other websites though.
