If youre self-employed you can use the Inland Revenue mileage rate to calculate the cost of using your private motor vehicle for business purposes, Inland Revenue reviews this rate annually. The commissioner has reviewed the rate for the 2017 income year and increased this from 72 to 73 cents per kilometre for both petrol and diesel vehicles.
For the first time the commissioner has introduced separate rates for Hybrid and Electric vehicles of 73 cents and 81 cents per kilometre respectively.
If you have any questions regarding reimbursing for business use of a private vehicle give us a call.
