I am eligible to claim motor vehicle expenses relating to a car as I travel for work & have a car allowance. My question is related to whether I can claim both expenses and depreciation.


I am looking to buy a new car and NOT Novate Lease this time around.

When claiming motor expenses (which I will complete via the logbook method), can I also claim the deprecation of the car, which I would submit under the diminishing value method.
