Mileage and subsistence schemes are for employees only, a sole-trader can only claim a percentage of all motor expenses (all running costs – fuel, repairs, insurance & tax) and travel expenses (hotel, train). You will need to keep all the receipts for these costs, so be careful and don't lose them.
The amount you can claim is the business element of the overall costs. Be realistic, Revenue are not going to believe that you use your car 100% of the time for business!
