Can you run a car with a domain business? (tax man)

[mally]

Hello

Just wondering if any of you guys run car's when running an internet business.

As in offsetting the costs against your tax?

Hi

From a tax perspective my understanding is that business related mileage can be claimed using the authorised mileage rates under the HMRC fixed profit car scheme. You can claim as a legitimate business expense mileage at rate of 40p mile for the first 10K miles and 25p per mile thereafter as expense against 'business profits' in any given tax. The provisio is the mileage claim has to be for business purposes only - you'll also need to check your car insurance includes 'Business Use'

Hope that helps.


Best Regards

umm, would it be hard to explain alot of miles to the tax many when most of us might not even leave the house

 

[Jeewhizz]

It'd be nigh on impossible!

Hi

legit business expenses could include trips to post office - posting those transfer forms (recorded delivery), trips to bank - paying in cheques, the odd Nominet meeting, the ocassional industry conference, trips to 'Servers R Us' etc. etc.

Cheers

many will have laptops i'm sure

depends what nature of work is, but theres all sorts of claims a decent accoiuntant can help u with

its well worth paying for an accountant in my opinion as they will pay for themselves without question

i want to know who the accountant is that the guy who used to part own tetra-pak has
he's a billionaire and we pay him tax! seems to happen too much that sort of thing
