| Oct 29, 2018 at 9:44 | comment | added | Ister | @DouglasHeld thanks, I wasn't aware of that :-) The one simple reason I brought up Poland as an example is that it's where I live so I know details of the insurance system best. Yet due to my work I happened to have analysed (motor) insurance systems in several European countries (~10, mostly from EU) and neither of them had any similar limitation despite many local weirdness - thus I added suggestion about most of the Europe. Forgetting about Europe would make quite different set of memes, I guess ;-) Anyway I believe the suggestion to add country tag stands. | |

Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs caps the amount per mile that can be paid without incurring income tax, but there’s no legal requirement for employers to pay that exact amount (although many do). The actual amount is subject to negotiation between the employer and employee (and perhaps a trade union). But an employer can’t require an employee to use their own car for business purposes unless their contract of employment includes it. | |

| Oct 25, 2018 at 17:26 | comment | added | motosubatsu♦ | @employee-x I can only speak for the UK but here you claim an amount per mile travelled for business purposes, the gov't sets the figure and it in theory compensates you for insurance, fuel, wear and tear etc | |
| Oct 25, 2018 at 17:03 | comment | added | employee-X | @motosubatsu While a company might require you to use your own car, presumably, you can bill them for the fancy insurance in such cases. | |
| Oct 25, 2018 at 13:18 | comment | added | motosubatsu♦ | Additionally if this is in the UK (and the OP has given no indication as to their location) this would mean this suggestion would be telling the OP to either lie to their employer (saying they don't have business cover when they do) or admit committing a crime to their employer! | |
| Oct 25, 2018 at 12:49 | comment | added | motosubatsu♦ | While this is (sort of) accurate (for the UK) at least.. this doesn't actually answer the question and you also miss the fact a company can ask you to use your car and it's up to the driver to arrange adequate insurance for that purpose. The mileage allowance/tax-relief that employees can claim is (partly) intended to pay for this. | |

| Oct 25, 2018 at 11:05 | comment | added | Will | In the UK insurance policies that exclude business use are widespread, so I wouldn't necessarily assume the opposite is true for most of Europe. | |
| Oct 25, 2018 at 10:27 | comment | added | Ister | This is very country-specific. In Poland (and probably most of Europe) there is no such limitation. Would you mind adding a country to which this applies (I presume USA but I might be wrong, also can it differ in various states)? | |
