Log Book
Motor vehicle. If you use your motor vehicle for business purposes and travel more than 5,000 business kilometres during the year you can maximise your deductions by keeping a log book and/or keeping all documents to substantiate expenses.
Alternatively, if business kilometres are less than 5,000 kilometres per annum you will probably obtain a greater benefit by claiming the cents per kilometre method by keeping a list of the business travel during the tax year….even travel to visit your accountant. Unless you can substantiate your kilometres by reference to diary entries etc, or document your expenses, claims for motor vehicle usage should not be made.
