Thanks @Elaine1234 and I'm so sorry it took a while to get back to you.
The answer is yes.
A sole trader can use different methods for different cars and you can also change methods from year to year.
Take a look at calculation for business motor vehicle expenses on our website.
Hi @Elaine1234
Does each business have it's own ABN?
@AriATO Both businesses use the same ABN. Only 1 ABN.
Thanks @Elaine1234, I'm going to double check with our technical area, can you tell me what the business structure is? Is it a sole trader?
@AriATO Yes it is a sole trader.
