    Hello,

    Can somebody please clarify how mileage should be calculated.

    I live at A and I work in B. Occasionally I am required to work in C. (C could be any one of 50 different places)

    If C is nearer to my home A I will travel from A to C and claim mileage for that. However

    I am not clear on what can or cannot be claimed if I travel from A to B via C in the course of my work? Can I claim mileage for the journey between C and B? My employer would argue this forms part of my normal journey and is not claimable however I disagree. Any thoughts?

    Milage is allowable when you travel to a location that is not your regular place of work. The distance allowable is the shorter of the distances between A&C or B&C.

    What is the reason for your journey from C to B?

    Hake a look (or better still tell your employer to have a look) at the Revenue's statement of practice it/2/07 page 7

    In my opinion you should be allowed claim for travelling from C to B.

    Under normal circumstances, if you are at your normal place of work and need to travel to a different location, you can claim for the travel their and back, even though the travel back is "travel to tyour regular place of work"
