- For my business I have always purchased my vehicle with financing.
-
- I have been told by others I should check into leasing instead.
-
- In the past since I owned my vehicle I have always taken the standard
- mileage rate since this was always greater than itemizing the actual expenses.
- If I was to lease a vehicle I understand I can deduct the
- actual lease payments as a business expense.
-
- Can I also take the standard mileage rate as a deduction in addition to
- the lease payment or must I use the actual operating costs (gas, oil,
- tires insurance) since the standard mileage rate includes depreciation.
