Self-Employed - Claiming Business Mileage?
Comments
-
If you are doing over 10,000 miles on business and using the car more than 50% in the business it would be easier to treat the vehicle as business and claim everything. The the mileage log provides a ratio of business to private mileage which is applied to the total expense to provide the private add backThe only thing that is constant is change.0

Thanks for the information.
At the moment I'm doing less than 10000 miles.
However, in future this may change and I will revert to the other method, should this happen for those tax years.
If I were to do this, when claiming for a proportion of the travel cost that equate to business use, what can be claimed for. I know a few things have been mentioned:
Fuel
Insurance
MOT
Road Tax
Vehicle breakdown cover/recovery (e.g. AA)?
Cost of puchase of vehicle?
Maintenance/wear and tear?0
