Should the state subsidise personal private transport?

[Cyclone]

Yes. A friend of mine works for London Wildlife Trust and is paid so much a mile. Some London borough councils also pay you to cycle to work. Don't know about taxing aspect but will ask her.

 

Does she travel to a variety of different sites, and have her work location designated as home? That would allow travel expenses to be paid for wherever she travelled.

I do that myself, my work location is home, so cycling to the city centre for a client I can claim at 25p a mile. Unfortunately there is no rate for running there.

This is rural northern Ireland. The next town is six miles away.

 

She can't work. She has a severe degenerative disease. She can get in and out a wheelchair and can tolerate being in it for 3-4 hours. When she had really bad days she needs to be helped in and out of bed, on and off the toilet etc.. No way any employer could support her by having two people on hand to help her perform the most basic tasks.

By describing buses as barbaric plague wagons

 

Well it is barbaric of the state to expect us to pay for the use of their buses. Especially so the disabled. If it isn't why don't you tell your disabled Mum to catch a bus?

No just to work and back, she's paid 50p a mile. No tax deducted but hasn't asked for obvious reasons.

Do you actually READ any responses or do you just prefer to use a knee jerk bigoted ignorant rant approach to anything that is posted in reply?

 

Just curious

If that's travel to a regular workplace then it's a benefit in kind and will be a taxable benefit on her P60.
