Just starting to get ready for the end of the year when i will be in need of a job, taken the advice on here and am making inroads into getting my badge.

Obvious questions with obvious answers im sure, but if you rent a car from the base, (which i intend to do to sart with) is it usual to have the car for private use?

Also, iam assuming the cost, and radio cost is tax freindly?

Many thanks

You pay tax on your profits after all expenses like fuel, car, radio, repairs and or maintenance etc.

Yeah if you are going to use it week in week out you will just have it 24/7 (usually anyway)

For the rents to be allowable you will need proof you paid them.......

You can't claim for private mileage.
