Tax relief for car expenses

 

Do you use your car for your job and not get paid expenses for it ?

You can submit a claim to Revenue (Car Expenses claim form) for an expenses deduction (and any wear and tear allowance in respect of the motor vehicle). However, where the employee decides to make such a claim, any re-imbursement of expenses by the employer, including any scale allowances, must be treated as pay and taxed accordingly. Employees cannot claim from Revenue for any expenses that are or will be reimbursed by the employer.

Information required

• Date of purchase of car.
• Purchase price.
• Date from which car was used for business purposes.
• Mileage and percentage of business to private use.
• Running Costs – Repairs, Service, Tax and Insurance.
• Any reimbursement of running cost made by the employer.
• CO2 emissions
