<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>
