UK rebate or not?

[boulty73]

My earnings after 20% tax for 2013/14 are £21,647 and i have mileage expenses of £7,279. Am I entitled to a refund?

The answer is, it depends. If you have evidence to support the mileage and can demonstrate that it is a deductible expense, then it may be worth you completing a tax return to generate a refund. The treatment depends on whether you are an employee or self-employed. Here is the guidance from HMRC:

Employees: HM Revenue & Customs: Tax relief for travel and subsistence

Self-employed: HM Revenue & Customs: Tax allowances and reliefs if you're self-employed

Hope this helps!
