Mileage expenses (help please)

[Absolutely]

I would be very grateful for any help please as I am really struggling to understand how mileage is claimed.

I live at location A.
I work in location B.
I am required to attend a meeting in location C first thing in the morning that is closer to my home (location A) than my work (location B). I return to my work location B after the meeting.
What mileage can I claim for this?

Thank you in advance.

Are you talking here about your employer's internal rules, or Revenue rules for tax-free mileage?

If the latter, I would suggest (C-A)+(C-B).

I would use the office as base. Sometimes it will work for you sometimes against, should balance out over the year.

personally in situations like this I just use the difference between my normal commute and whatever mileage I actually did on the day.
