Jpa & Htd

[jpa-in]

I've heard rumours of people being re-instated to the original motor mileage rates that they were claiming on RILOR, i.e 50 miles +, not capped at 50 as per the new JPA HTD rates.
Anyone out there had this done or know of anyone who has ?

I too have been shafted by the 50 mile single journey cap. What constitutes 'exceptional circumstances'? Anybody succeeded on this clause?

Exceptional circumstances? - Probably, if you were 'based' in Cornwall, 'stationed' at ISK and 'camped out' at Machrihanish; ala the ISK '76 Bolthole
Seems nothing's changed

You might want to look at what the IR allow as max rates for mileage. Perhaps worth checking their website.

If you're paid less than the 'permitted' rates, you can make a claim on your tax return for the deficit. I do it every year.

As it stands at the moment, cars under 2.0l are allowed 40p per mile for the first 10k miles then 25p for the next 10k, and I think it then drops to something like 15p.

Hence if you get 25p per mile from the Service, you claim 15p x no of miles for the first 10k miles on your tax return:ok: .

The tax rules do not apply to H to D.

Did you get Sepal over the ISK Bolthole? We did. Lovely loop hole.

Separation was defined as a period of detachment where the period at home was less than 7 days and the distance over 200 miles or time problem. Having convinced handbrake house that a weeks sim at ISK was less than 7 days and SAR/Ops standby at ISM meant you could not commute at weekends :) :) :)

Good point, well made. Easy mistake to make: I work from home, so all miles are claimable.

However, it's often overlooked on other duty mileages - I didn't know it was possible while I was in.
