Hi
I’m hoping somebody can help with a situation that’s arisen.
I recently left a job where i incurred travel expenses in the form of mileage
I use my own vehicle at 45p pet mile as per hmrc guidelines
My ex employer states I need to provide receipts (by law) to claim the couple of hundred of miles I travelled and didn’t get chance to claim for.
As I understand as long as I can provide the number of miles I don’t need a receipt
I’ve offered to provide bank statements showing spends at petrol stations as I don’t have the receipts now
I’ve never had to produce receipts before
Am I to understand they are trying to reclaim vat ?
But that’s vat I paid ?
Anyway / hmrc website doesn’t say need receipts relating to business miles
Any help would be good to clarify
