As part of the registration for the Essential Business-User Scheme, VLS need to collect your annual business and private mileage split. An accurate mileage profile, including business and private mileage, is key to assigning your individual profile to control the costs of the scheme.

An individual’s ‘Motoring Amounts’ are set and these are calculated on an individual basis to provide all colleagues in the same grade and the same Marginal Tax Rate, with a Benchmark Vehicle for the same cost. 

There is no benefit to you by over or underestimating your mileage. The mileage given does impact the cost of the provision of the scheme, and it will be financially detrimental to you if you significantly overestimate your mileage. It is critically important to ensure your estimates are as accurate as can be. 

All mileages entered will be verified with your Line Manager.
