Re: Employee is using his or her personnel vehicle for company business
It depends on your agreement with your employer and not the agreement between he and the customer. However, vehicle expenses incurred for your job for which you are not reimbursed, as well as depreciation, may be deductible on your income tax return. Consult your tax preparer to determin whether you qualify or not.
