Self employed flat rate mileage, adding extras to vehicle.

[Spangles]

I have a van, I use 45p/mile to claim expenses, no other costs for the van are claimed. However I'd like to add extra security to the van due to the business related stuff I put in it. Can I claim for that separately?

Is it a motor expense or a security expense?

Well unless it's a particularly determined thief I won't need it whilst in motion so I'm gonna opt for security expense.
