Self assessment - any accountants out there

Can I have a bit of advise. Been doing hubby's SA return for years. Every year he gets a whopping bill of around £3000. I'm going to get an accountant to look at it properly but need to file this return before Tuesday. My question is this....

Hubby does business miles. Employer pays fuel back at 19p per mile. So in his SA I record that he has received £1,710 in expenses payments (based on 9,000 miles done). I then record that he incurred travel costs of £4050. He's a higher rate tax payer and always gets stung for the 'expenses' he has received - when it isn't an expense really??

Is this the correct way to do it? Or do I miss off the fuel payments received and just claim his costs back.

TIA

that mileage will not be generating that bill - you need an accountant
