Expenses may be split between the two businesses utilizing whatever expense method you are currently using, actual expenses or mileage expense. It is extremely important to keep accurate records on the usage of this vehicle.

If you are using the expenses method it may be best to allocate these expenses by usage. If one business uses the truck 75% of the time then it would get 75% of the total expenses.

Once again bookkeeping and proper records play a major role in determining the split.
