Mileage Allowance
Permalink Closed


I know that if you are using the flat rate mileage allowance you must stick with that until you change the car, and I was also under the impression the same applied if you claimed motoring expenses with a percentage deducted for private use.

Just seen a thread on aweb that has made me doubt the latter.  Gov.uk says "You cant claim simplified expenses for a vehicle youve already claimed capital allowances for, or youve included as an expense when you worked out your business profits."

That would fit in with my understanding, but the unchallenged advice was to go the 45p a mile route for someone previously claiming motoring expenses, with a 50% deduction for private use.

 

Back story is that husband has become a sole trader and is using same car for business use. I don't have any problem with him being able to claim the mileage allowance, but can the wife also claim the mileage allowance now?
