<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the costs related to a light truck, you can determine the VAT deduction from a trip administration. Here you split the amount of professional mileage and the amount of private mileage.

The VAT deductibility here can basically go up to 100%, based on the actual professional use %<\/a> of your vehicle. But know that the tax authorities are critical of 100% professional use %, never even private use is virtually impossible.
