Sole Trader Motoring Expenses?

    I'm a sole trader, working from home. Some of my work requires me to work on my customers site for a few hours or days at a time. Should I be claiming mileage on my travel to and from them?

    (Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it anywhere. Feel free to just link me to any pre-existing threads.)

    The reason I'm asking is that someone told me that I should (without knowing all the ins and outs) but someone else has told me they formed a limited company in order to claim the mileage...

    Do I need to work through a company to claim mileage or can I claim tax relief on it as a sole trader?

    To be clear, I want to know if I (as a sole trader) can claim mileage as a business expense and therefore reduce my income tax liability.

    Got on to Revenue directly and got the answer. I can claim it. Incase anyone else was looking for the answer too.
