How to Claim Fuel Card Costs as a Business Expense

To claim fuel card costs as a business expense, the fuel must be used for business purposes and supported by proper records, such as fuel card invoices, transaction reports and mileage details. VAT-registered businesses may also be able to reclaim VAT on eligible business fuel, while non-VAT-registered sole traders, partnerships and limited companies cannot reclaim VAT separately but may still treat allowable business fuel as a normal business expense. With Radius fuel cards, customers can download HMRC-compliant invoices through Radius Velocity, which can help with bookkeeping, accounting records and VAT return preparation.
