  • Vehicle running costs or mileage
  • Fuel
  • Insurance (hire & reward)
  • Licence, plate and PHV fees
  • MOT, servicing and repairs
  • Cleaning and valeting

Mileage or actual costs? We work out which method gives you the bigger deduction and use it — and make sure your licence, plate and insurance costs are all claimed.
