Messenger says: 6 October 2015 at 13:51 What are the income requirements to claim vehicle depreciation? If commission forms about 25% of my yearly income, and my vehicle is used extensively to travel between clients (core part of the job), can I claim depreciation of my vehicle against my income? I don't receive any travel allowance or fuel etc. I keep a logbook and can prove travel % to work/personal. Thanks. |
