  2. I am a sole trader and use my private car for business trips.

    In this scenario can I claim the civil service milage rates and if not how do I offset the expenses incurred by business journeys which do not relate to fuel eg motor tax, insurance, wear and tear?

    • Hi Lorcan,

      As a sole trader you can’t use the civil service mileage rates and you should instead keep your receipts for your motor expenses including fuel, repairs, insurance and motor tax. When preparing your accounts and tax return at the end of the year you should include the portion of motor expenses that relate to your business. For example, if you drive 50,000 km in a year of which 30,000 is for business then you can take 60% of your motor expenses as a business expense.

      Regards,

      Orla
