Is writing off gas on taxes a business expense?
Gas expenses are deductible when they are directly related to the operation of a business vehicle. This includes driving to meet clients, travel between different work sites, or other business-related travel. Personal use of a vehicle, commuting from home to a regular place of business, or any non-business travel does not qualify for a deduction. Business owners can choose between deducting actual expenses, including gas, or using the standard mileage rate.
