Employees in the UK who use their own vehicle for work can claim tax free expenses. If an employee keeps records of business journeys and the amounts paid by an employer the employee may also be entitled to receive mileage allowance relief in addition to those expenses for the past six years. It is common practise for a UK employer to pay an employee expenses when that employee uses his own vehicle for business journeys. Often the amount paid is based upon a standard rate per mile which varies from employer to employer. There are tax issues every employee should be aware of to maximise tax free expenses and minimise income tax payments.

We have all seen or personally experienced the devastating floods of recent weeks across the UK. Looking at the flooded streets and submerged cars, it is difficult to imagine what effected families are going through as they face another week without their homes, cars or even running water. For most people, however, insurance policies will cover at least the material losses, if not the emotional distress. But how far do you consider your insurance cover if you are driving abroad? Faced with a similar flooding situation while on your summer vacation might get you a celebrity shot on ‘Holidays from Hell’, but if you were to look out from your villa balcony to see your car bobbing in the storm waters, you may feel far happier just knowing you’d carefully organised your car insurance, in advance.

British children’s bedrooms are being increasingly filled with expensive items, new research indicates. A study conducted by Lloyds TSB Insurance reveals that the typical child currently has goods to the value of 1,720 pounds in their room - a rise of seven per cent from the 1,607 pounds recorded last year. Meanwhile, one in ten young people have toys and technology worth more than 3,000 pounds. Overall, such possessions across the country account for a “whopping” 25.4 billion pounds. However, the financial services firm indicated that the value of children’s rooms could be set to rise further after this Christmas. The claims come as some 90 per cent of mums and dads are on track to spend up to 500 pounds on presents for their offspring, with a low-rate loan one possible way of funding such expenditure. |
