Mileage Calculation for a Soul Trader/Freelancer

[alexs415]

Hello there,

I understand the current rates for mileage being 45p per mile up to 10,000 then 25p per mile after which can be claimed back off your tax return at the end of the year.

My problem is I don't know how much to account for mileage being a Soul trader/freelancer in television. Currently I don't do much driving in my own vehicle while at work, although I am constantly driving to a variety of locations at the start and end of each day.

As I understand it I cannot claim mileage when I am commuting which I suppose this could be considered as, although i don't have a set/fixed place of work.

Therefore can I claim business mileage from home(where my office is based) to and from the variety of locations that I go to?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Alex
