I think Mike was saying his tax code had gone down, 'reduced' was the word he used. So he would be paying more tax.

That is what I am questioning, if it has, then a new tax has been slipped into the system without anyone spotting it

AFAIK up to 40p per mile is considered non taxable expenses -- could be wrong of course.

As for STMO's assertion that only over 100k taxpayers need to fill out SA forms -- the key word in the qoute he used was NEED .... over 100k you need to fill in a form -- under that and you can still be required to fill in a form -- I think HMRC send them out on a rota basis to Higher rate PAYE bods.

Basically they can make you fill out a form whenever they choose.

Anyway -- back on topic -- if your expenses are 40p per mile or less -- question their move.

They have reduced my tax code by the exact amount I received last year on my first claim for rather years e.g.,
personal allowance: 6475
taxable expenses: -74
a tax free amount of: 6401

so previous tax code of 647L is replaced by 640L

So assuming I claim 400 in mileage this year, I assume next year my tax code will change to 600L :-/

My firm pays 60.01 pence per mile due to the engine size (highest rate paid)

So presumably you did 369 miles last year at 60.1p per mile. (20.1p x 369 = £74 rounded).  The maximum you can claim mileage for is 40ppm for the first 10,000 miles and 26ppm thereafter.

So if you do 400 miles next year your tax code should change to 639.
