SELF ASSESSMENT - Tax relief for business mileage in your own vehicle

Hi,
I wish somebody can help me.


Hi, I am using my own car to work and I would like claim milleage relief.

Last year I done it and I had no problems I used P87 form because amount was less then £2500 but this year I struggle because I need to do Self Assesment tax return because the amount is over £2500 and I can't use P87 form. I just can't find it right boxes.
I am employed NO SELF EMPLOYED and I am using HMRC online servie.
Please Help ME

So far I done:
*registered in HMRC
*activated self assessment service
*I have got amount which I want to claim (miles x £0.45 - amount received from employer.
*I have got my P60 letters, my tax code letters and bank statments
*I done two first point (Welcome and tell us about you)

what I should do next??? What I should tick to claim fuel tax relief and where I shwhould put the amounts because for me HMRC never done that right. They didn't say where you should put that down like in P87 form and I have got no idea.

Please only helpful replies

Matt

    Looking back at my completed online self-assessment form, the travel appears under the following section relating to the relevant employment:
    Employment expenses
    17. Business travel and subsistence expenses

    Hope this helps
