Travel eLogbook

Travel eLogbook

The income tax system allows taxpayers who receive a travel allowance to claim a deduction for the use of their private vehicle for business purposes. In order to claim a deduction, the first step is to record your vehicle's odometer reading on 1 March each year (the first day of the tax year for individuals) and again on the last day of February the next year (the last day of the tax year for individuals). These opening and closing readings give you your total kilometres travelled for the year. And recording your mileage will help you make an accurate claim when submitting your tax return. 

TIP:  SMS your own car's kilometre reading as on 28 February 2010 to your own cell phone for safekeeping.

NEW!! This year's logbook - 1 March 2010 - 28 February 2011: Online Logbook 2010/11

You may also download the logbook to your PC or you may print a hard copy and complete it at your own leisure.
