Accounting for Sole Proprietors: Tax & Bookkeeping Tips
in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand regarding fuel expenses for a small business owner.
The vehicle was purchased through the LLC, and all gas is paid for using a company card, but since the owner uses it daily for the commute and, naturally, for personal errands too,
I'm a bit stuck on the accounting side. Since the fuel is being charged directly to an ExxonMobil fleet card, can we just write off the entire amount as a business expense, or would it be necessary to keep a detailed log to separate what's strictly for work from what's for personal use?
