Mileage Relief Allowance in a Self Assessment

WheelorC

I am in the process of completing my self assessment and there is no clear box (I think i have selected the right one) where business mileage is to be entered - I thought that it needed to go into the Employment Expenses Box 17 - Business Travel and Subsistence Expenses but then it seems to fit better (from the HMRC drop down "help" tab) in Employment Expenses Box 20 - Other Expenses and capital allowances - as within the help tab it mentions Mileage Relief Allowance. As per usual it isn't very clear where it belongs - any help appreciated.

It should go under "Business Travel and Subsistence Expenses"

The "help" information seems to be overlapping as the same descriptions are listed under "other expenses and capital allowances" as the boxes showing in the same section, and detailed descriptions for the same categories are listed under the correct box. I've never read the detail under that bottom box before, so I've no idea whether that's always been as misleading!   The last box is intended to be catchall for either capital allowances or anything that doesn't come under the other options in the same section.

Thanks for that, not the clearest from the HMRC as usual - much appreciated
