	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2022 answer text <p>Self-employed people can get tax relief for fuel and other business motoring expenses using either the simplified mileage rate or by claiming capital allowances and actual expenses. The mileage rate is an easier way of calculating the costs of owning and running a vehicle for tax purposes, intended to balance accuracy with administrative simplicity for businesses by using an average. This means that the rate will be more appropriate for some drivers than for others. Fuel is only one component of the rate, as it also covers the business proportion of other motoring costs such as servicing, insurance and depreciation.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all taxes under review, including the simplified mileage rate for the self-employed.</p> answering member constituency Havant answering member printed Alan Mak question first answered 19/07/2022 13:08:23 answering member 4484 label Biography information for Alan Mak
