Hello,
I am trying a printed 'mock' self assessment ready for April as I went self employed in September 2016 and want to be prepared.
I seem to be getting conflicting information as to whether I can claim my mileage or not.
I am a sole trader so my business is registered at home. I travel to three clients on a weekly basis to work on their premises.
HMRC's website says you cannot claim for travelling to a place of work, but you can claim for business mileage at 45p a mile for 10,000 miles and 25p after that. Technically bookkeepers are both, we travel to the place of work but we also do this for business use.
I would like to claim this, as by the 5th April I will have around £2,000 to claim which will help the amount of tax I have to pay.
What is the correct thing to do?
Kind regards,
Marie.
