🚗 Childminders – are you still using the mileage rate on your tax return?
The HMRC mileage rate hasn’t increased in years… meanwhile petrol, insurance and repair costs have soared.
If you use your car a lot for childminding, Capital Allowances could save you FAR more tax than mileage claims.
After adjusting for personal use, you may be able to claim:
✔ Petrol & diesel
✔ Insurance
✔ Repairs & servicing
✔ Breakdown cover / roadside assistance
✔ Road tax
✔ Finance interest costs
✔ And depreciation through capital allowances
I’ll calculate everything for you so you can still complete the rest of your own tax return.
💷 Fees (also tax deductible):
• £75 for the first year (or any year you change vehicle)
• £50 for following years
Simple, affordable and often saves childminders hundreds in tax.
Message me to see if Capital Allowances would work better for you. Note you can only change method when you change your vehicle.
