which differs depending upon on the means.
Indeed. I wonder how the 20p/mile figure compares with what your average cyclist spends on their bike? Does anyone have any figures?
If you were to cycle 2500 miles a year, you could buy a £500 bike each year and ride it into the ground (i.e. spend £0 on maintenance all year). That's approximately 10 miles per workday.
That would be an allowance, not a tax deduction, and up to the business to provide.
The Revenue allow a tax deduction for expenses, ie the cost of travel, which differs depending upon on the means.
