Can you write off is gas a business expense?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are directly related to the operation of a business vehicle used for business purposes. This includes travel to meet clients, attend business meetings, or transport goods. However, commuting from home to a regular place of business is not deductible. If a vehicle is used for both personal and business purposes, only the portion of gas used for business can be deducted. Taxpayers can choose between deducting actual expenses (including gas) or using the standard mileage rate, which covers gas, maintenance, and other vehicle-related costs. For example, if a consultant drives 10,000 miles in a year and 6,000 of those miles are for business, they can deduct 60% of their gas expenses if using the actual expense method.
