EIM63645 - Tax treatment of fire officers: motor mileage allowances paid for private journeys

Mileage allowances are paid to fire officers for some journeys that are private for tax purposes (see EIM63610 and EIM63620). If a particular fire brigade makes such payments then:

• payments for business travel should be dealt with under the approved mileage allowance payments (AMAPs) scheme in the normal way; see EIM31200 onwards
• any payments for private miles should be subject to tax under PAYE
