Employees incurring motor expenses for work

Motor Expenses incurred as part of employment

Any individual who uses his or her private car for business purposes and is not reimbursed by his or her employer can claim car expenses. Expenses must be incurred necessarily in the performance of the duties of the employment. A claim can be made under the following two headings:

1. Wear and Tear (Capital Allowances)

2. Running Expenses

An employee may submit a claim to Revenue (Car Expenses claim form) for the motor expenses deduction (and any wear and tear allowance in respect of the motor vehicle).

Employees cannot claim from Revenue for any expenses that are or will be re-imbursed by the employer.
