Private hire tax savings

Hi there

I'm a private hire taxi driver, self employed. I have expenditures of fuel, car loan, cleaning, radio/meter hire, oil and general car maintanace.

Should I be looking for some kind of tax savings in any of these areas? My total turnover is around £27k, and my income after expenditure is £11k.

Thanks

    Do you claim capital allowances on the vehicle itself?

    Hi Fengirl

    I have an accountant and am not sure if capital allowance on the vehicle itself has been claimed. I bought it right out in 06 and was wondering if it's not been claimed could I claim it now? Thanks.
