Absolutely. If you bring the company van home at night, then drive it back to work in the morning, that would be considered "commuting" which is personal use-your money should be used to pay for the gas. However, if you're using the van once you get to work for business use, then no-that gas should be on your boss's nickel, not yours.

Without getting to technical the answer is one way only, that being going to work. And yes there is a tax implication of which you are liable to pay tax for using the vehicle away from work, BUT this is only the case if you use the van out of hours for private use, you should be asked to sign a disclaimer stating you would not use the vehicle for private use. Hope this helps all the best, is you boss called Ebeniza by any chance

This should be a tax question. By letting you drive to and from work in the company van he's effectively paying you a tax-free bonus equivalent to 40p per mile. So you should be paying tax on that. That's how Her Maj sees it anyway.
If he's just charging you fuel, he's being stingy and mucking up the tax at the same time. The net financial effect on you is about the same, but Her Maj is out of pocket. She will be upset with both of you if your boss ever gets a tax inspection.

It really depends on your contract with him. My boss has a company car and has a fuel allowance , anything over that he has to pay. But it more than covers getting to and fro from work.
Geoff on the other hand borrowed one of the company cars as his had broken down but it was on the understanding that he paid for all the fuel as it hadn't been part of his contract and the company was actually helping out of a hole. They did not need to lend him their car , it was his responsibility to get to work however he could

Well depending on what job you do, and what the van is used for then as far as your boss is concerned you "start work as soon as you leave the house" !!!

If your boss allowed you to do that then he cant charge you for fuel.

i dont think so as long as you can prove you were using the van for work use only but i think it is best u seek proper advice from the c.a.b or from a solicitor.
