Hi, Can you please tell me what I should be reimbursed per KM from my employer for a 1.3L 2005 Suzuki swift.

The reimbursement rate is a negotiation between you and your employer. However, the AA running cost calculation for a 1.3 litre car is 53.2c per km. Be mindful that this is based on a vehicle at the 3rd year of age where depreciation is a significant factor. For a 9 year old car, the true running cost will be less than this, but it would be an appropriate rate on which to start any reimbursement employee/employer negotiations.
