\text{Vehicle Deduction} = \min(km, 14000) \times \text{Tier 1 Rate} + \max(0, km - 14000) \times \text{Tier 2 Rate} \\
\\
\text{Home Office Deduction} = (\text{Office } m^2 \times \$53.10) + \left(\frac{\text{Office } m^2}{\text{Total Home } m^2}\right) \times (\text{Mortgage Interest/Rent} + \text{Rates} + \text{Insurance}) \\
\\
\text{Tax Cash Savings} = (\text{Vehicle Deduction} + \text{Home Office Deduction}) \times \text{Marginal Tax Rate}Under IRD operational guidelines, business mileage is claimed using a 2-tier system: Tier 1 for the first 14,000 km ($1.04/km petrol/diesel/hybrid, $0.85/km EV) and Tier 2 for excess kilometres ($0.35, $0.21, or $0.19). For home offices, IRD allows $53.10 per m² per year for utilities/operational costs, plus an apportioned share of rent or mortgage interest, rates, and insurance based on the office area ratio.
