MAKING GOOD

Section 203(2) ITEPA 2003• The legislation does not set a time limit on the "making good".

This will usually happen shortly after the expense is incurred by the person providing the benefit. But you need not object to a belated "making good" if it is done within a reasonable time of the employee becoming aware that the chargeable benefit can be reduced, in whole or in part, by reimbursing the expense incurred by the provider.

What constitutes a "reasonable time" will depend on the facts of the case. Do not allow a deduction for "making good" which takes place after a charge to tax on the benefit concerned has become final and conclusive.

FUEL SCALE CHARGES

Company Car Fuel Scale Charges• An HMRC spokesman commented: “Employers should have

appropriate systems in place to verify that any business mileage claims made by their employees can be paid free of tax. Should such claims turn out to be false, both the employer and employee may be liable to action taken by HMRC.”

• Recent research revealed that 72 per cent of respondents suspect that their drivers overestimate mileage claims on a regular basis. This is coupled with the revelation that only 50 per cent of firms routinely double check the accuracy of claims. More than one in 10 believe that the practice of inflating mileage is routine

MY Consultancy

FUEL SCALE CHARGES

Company Car Fuel Scale Charges• Avoiding a fuel scale charge means not providing ‘free fuel’• Intentionally or unintentionally!• Business mileage recording is the first point to address• If the employer ensures that proper mileage records are

maintained and checks them?• Next we must ensure that the correct amount of fuel is provided• Using HMRC’s Advisory Fuel Rates is the ‘safe bet!’

MY Consultancy

ADVISORY FUEL RATESCompany Cars

• HMRC Guidance on fuel rates for company car drivers• Not relevant to Vans or employee own cars• AFR’s can either be used for:

• Reimbursing employee business mileage, or • Recovering employee private fuel costs

• AFR’s based on average fuel costs and only ‘advisory’ rates• Employers may have to justify the use of different rates

• Higher reimbursement or lower recovery• Have these rates been used in 2011/12 to avoid any liability?
