Probably shouldn't be using your own car for that anyway would be the quick fire response unless its insured for commercial use . Our vets all drive lease cars ,the Directors have Business cards ,the others claim allowances, no one has ever had time to delve into the minutae like that, I certainly haven't and am not about to start. If you have several outlets though there is an ideal opportunity to use one as a Ltd Co and leave one as a Limited liability partnership . If you put the cars through the second one, no one gets stuffed for payment in kind tax on them.

A single too and from work is not usually claimable but additional journeys (on duty for example) would be.

Unless the difference is big why are they bothering to adjust for a few miles? Seems a bit petty.

As long as it can be justified to HMRC should there be an inspection then that should not cause problems. A longer route to miss traffic blackspots should be a perfectly good reason to claim a bit more.

If your contract states the times/payment for the journey then they are probably within their rights!

What does your contract say, and have your bosses told you what journey to take? As an employer it's much easier knowing the distances between branches and paying a standard fee, rather than your individual claims. Perhaps speak to them and agree a standard journey and distance.

Remember your commute from home is usually not claimable.
