Motor expenses

Self employed trader. Can I claim motor expenses for a vehicle used by me but in the name of my spouse? Business use is about 30%.

Hi Pumpkin One,
If you contribute to the running costs of the car, it does not matter that it is in your wife's name as long as you are basing your claim on your actual usage of the vehicle.  
Please guidance here:
Expenses if you're self-employed.
Thank you.
