HI 

 

I've recently gone self employed (Sole Trader). 

 

I'm a little confused on the following if someone could confirm I would be extremely grateful. 

 

Quickbooks tracks my mileage so it will deduct an amount when i complete my tax return, when I have fuel receipt I'm assuming you log this as personal and not a business expense is this correct. 

 

The reason why I'm assuming this is because you would be claiming fuel within the mileage travelled expense? 

 

Thanks in advance

Hello Carl Evans, This article should help you with your question and also yeah you can claim it under Travel expenses and not on the Car/Van expenses category.
