Tax Deductions for the Business Use of Vehicles in 2009, 2010
September 22, 2009 by Hanna08
The use of any vehicle for business purposes presents some of the most tricky tax issues a small business or home based business owner faces. It also presents one of the biggest opportunities for tax savings you will encounter.
First, there are multiple items for you to consider:
- Is the vehicle used in any part for personal use?
- Is it used as an employee of a company you work as well as a business you own?
- Have you maintained the logs of mileage that demonstrate how much the vehicle was used in the business and elsewhere?
- Which expenses are covered under the mileage deduction, and which can be taken in addition to the mileage deduction?
- Are there special considerations for the type(s) of vehicle(s) you use, i.e. special fuels, SUVs, vehicle weight, etc.
- Do you own a “fleet” of vehicles used in your business?
And, you need records for:
- Mileage
- Maintenance and repairs
- Taxes, title and license expenses in any year
- Purchase and sale documentation
Including records showing:
Whether the vehicle is owned or leased, sales, use and excise taxes paid, whether there are any liens and loans on the vehicle(s), and any other expenses you may wish to deduct.
As you navigate this maze, you may need help. A good internal accountant or recordkeeper earns his or her keep when it comes to tracking the important information you need relating to vehicle deductions. A tax advisor who is an expert in vehicle expenses can save you a world of heartache or heartburn, as the case may be.

Your friend is correct. Loads of commissions on an annuity, it's an insurance product. Loads of fees in a mutual fund.
Read about them. Check Guardian.
The question lacks important information.
Picking a framework, any framework, without an understanding of the project requirements, is a mistake.
Different frameworks excel in different ways. The framework that an application is built on should not be done arbitrarily.
What if you pick a great framework but, apply it to a problem where it is not best suited? This is the path to endless suffering.
