I am due to go self employed soon, but will get a regular wage on a contract. I will be responsible for my own fuel/transport costs (up to 300 miles per week), and paying my own NI contributions etc. Does anyone know what I claim back against tax under the self employment thingy? (really after knowing about claims for fuel/car etc).

Cheers in advance

Thanks Bootsy.

I will be a self employed consultant to a government sector, but it involves commuting around the country. Like I said, could be upwards of 300 miles per week, which may prove expensive, the car will be soley for the job and I will also have stationary etc to budget in as outlays. Those cards you mentioned look interesting, will have to look into those.

Set up a Ltd company, just claim mileage as an employee of the company.

Pay yourself minimum wage too.
