self employed tax relief on motoring costs

hadwinj

I was forced to become self employed as a peripatetic primary music teacher in 2011. My  tax relief on travel costs has ALWAYS been based on 45p a mile. I think it's time for that to be reviewed. Petrol prices have rocketed in the last decade! Can Martin start a new campaign!?

You could always claim actual costs (proportioned between personal & business mileage) if you don't think that 45ppm covers your costs.

Martin doesn’t live here anymore. 

You need to contact him through his programmes or on social media,
