One of those that generate the most doubts is the cost of fuel, given the difficulties in knowing to what extent the gasoline used in a vehicle that can be used both for work and in our daily lives is deductible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The expense on fuel for a vehicle will be deductible as long as it is an expense related to the economic activity that is carried out. It is the basis through which the rest of the deductions are articulated, but in this case the limits between professional life and personal life must be clear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on the use of the vehicle, 50% or 100% may be deducted from these expenses. In all cases, it is up to the self-employed person to be able to prove that the expenses incurred actually correspond to the economic activity carried out and are not &#039;traps&#039; for the Tax Agency to deduct expenses that are prohibited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Treasury allows 50% deductions in the fuel expenses of the self-employed as long as two things are met at the same time: that both the fuel bill and the ownership of the vehicle are in the name of the self-employed person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To be entitled to larger 50% deductions, you will have to be even more meticulous, since the Tax Agency increases surveillance and requirements. Thus, the self-employed person will have to prove when they use the vehicle to work and when not to avoid problems with the Treasury and demonstrate that they are not trying to deduct prohibited expenses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best way is to take photographs of the odometer and keep a detailed account of the kilometers traveled during work activity. This will determine the fuel expense and will be able to demonstrate to the Treasury that you have used the vehicle more than half of the time at work.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">When can 100% be deducted from fuel<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tax Agency establishes that, depending on the nature of their activity, some professionals can even deduct 100% from fuel expenses. They are the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">-In the case of mixed vehicles used for the transport of goods.<br \/>-In the case of vehicles used for the provision of passenger transportation services or for teaching drivers or pilots that entail compensation.<br \/>-In the case of vehicles used by their own manufacturers with the objective of carrying out tests, trials, demonstrations or for sales promotion.<br \/>-In the case of vehicles used for professional travel by agents or commercial representatives.<br \/>-In the case of vehicles used in surveillance services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have questions about what expenses are deductible before the Treasury when you carry out an activity as a self-employed person, you can go to our offices located at C\/Constituci\u00f3n 24 and we can advise you (Tel. 968 45 46 24), or through our <a href=\"https:\/\/aseryde.com\/en\/contacto-cieza\/\">&quot;contact&quot;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is essential that your expenses are related to the activity you carry out.
