claiming mileage for 2 different jobs

Estwing

My employer for my PAYE job allows me to claim 46p per mile for the mileage i do in my car for work.

In my self-employed job do i have to claim per mileage for that as well or can i claim for a % of my running costs?

I guess it would be less complicated to stick to claiming mileage for both, but im prepared to do the calcs if it works out better claiming running costs.

As a self employed person, you can opt for either method of recording travel costs - but dont forget that you are not claiming anything, just reducing your profit.

Also you are being paid too much per mile in your PAYE job. 6p per mile will be taxable for the first 10,000 miles and then 21p/mile for anything over 10,000 miles..
