They are, but not in the way you would like. While looking on their website yesterday I noticed a consultation paper in which they were propsing to tier the approved mileage rates against CO2 emissions and mileage.

So a higher emission car would get a starting rate of 25p per mile and low emissions one something like 55p.

Barking mad, because that's exactly the reverse of the intention of the approved mileage rates.

First they f*ck up company cars, now they are trying to f*ck it up for those of us who have opted out.
The reasons for staying in the UK are rapidly running out, and the reasons for skipping the UK are growing on a daily basis.
Mind you, the numbers leaving the UK will never get anywhere near the ever increasing number of those arriving!
