• Approved mileage allowance payments (AMAPs) and advisory fuel rates (AFRs)


• Maximum income tax-free rates for payments to employees


Robert Scott & Sons Ltd, UK supplier of wholesale cleaning, janitorial, spraying and hygiene solutions, has remained at the forefront with its development of deep cleaning fibre.


Alastair Scott, Sales and Marketing Director said: “The introduction of the Mi-Cloth and Mi-Roll disposable microfibre cloths demonstrate that we are listening to customer demand and providing the answer - in this case helping to solve the problem of cross contamination in care homes, hospitals, restaurants and hotels.


“The low unit price of both Mi-Cloth and Mi-Roll make them truly disposable and with the cleaning properties of microfibre, but without the need for regular laundering to remove dirt and grease. In short they are a highly- effective cleaning cloth designed to be disposed of quickly and easily after use, preventing cross contamination and

company cars, but all the factors


involved in funding a car can make the process quite daunting.


“Our new Tax Guide will help current fleet customers to stay ahead of any changes to their vehicle payments, while allowing companies looking to add Volvo to their fleet to make informed decisions based on the latest information, supporting them through the initial stages of the selection process.”


Jeff Whitcombe, Director of BCF Wessex, who developed the app, said: “We developed the Fleet Tax Guide to replace the pocket tax guide that was hugely popular within the automotive industry for so many years. Our multi- platform digital guide is user-friendly and far more practical, offering up- to-date figures to provide a convenient way to access all the latest tax information relevant to businesses.”

removing the need for costly laundry facilities and chemicals.”


Both Mi-Cloth and Mi-Roll are made from 100% low-linting microfibre. They are strong, hardworking cloths able to be used with minimal amounts of water and like all microfibre cloths, without the need for chemicals. The super-soft cloths are suitable and strong enough for hypochlorite solutions and are colour coded to, again, help with cross contamination issues. Mi-Cloth and Mi-Roll can be used either damp for the cleaning of surfaces or worktops or dry for smear-free finishes such as stainless steel, glass or simple dusting.


Mi-Cloth comes in packs of 50 and the Mi-Roll contains 250 sheets that can be used in dispensers, stored and carried on trolleys or kept on worktop surfaces.
