What you can claim on top
The flat rate covers fuel, insurance, servicing and wear. Parking and train fares for business trips are claimed on top of it.
When you can’t use it
Not for a vehicle you’ve claimed capital allowances on, or included as an expense when you worked out your profits. Once you start using the flat rate for a vehicle, you keep using it for as long as that vehicle is in the business.
Keeping a log
For each trip: the date, where from and to, why, and the miles. Your commute to a regular place of work doesn’t count; a trip to a client or a property you let does.
Landlords
Journeys solely for your letting can be claimed too. They go in box 29 of your SA105, beside your other property costs.
Tillslip keeps the log
Add each trip and Tillslip works out the claim at these rates, beside your receipts and totals.
