Within Cintra iQ, you can create a mileage scheme if you are paying above HMRC rates for employees using their own car for business purposes. The amount above the HMRC rate is subject to tax and NI. The taxable amount would be recorded on a P11d and the NI on the amount is calculated via the payroll.
- Annual Allowance is an annual amount paid to an employee for using their own vehicle for business miles.
- Mileage Payments are set amounts paid for each business mile an employee does in their own vehicle.
- Passenger Payments are set amounts paid for each passenger for each business mile an employee does with a passenger in their own vehicle i.e. if an employee has two passengers and does 60 miles, a payment would be made for 120 units and the appropriate passenger rate.
Once you have created the Mileage Scheme for private car users, you can enter a mileage claim for an employee, even if they do not need to receive a regular allowance.
Note:
Mileage payments should be entered each period via Payroll Period Input.
