If the business expenses you get form part of your salary i.e. they were agreed in advance and are shown on your pay slip then yes you can include these.

But if those were just one off or you got reimbursed for these expenses, then I am afraid they wont count towards your points.

I was in the same situation where my employer used to pay me travel expense as part of my salary. Immigration rules Appendix A explains this.
