Tracking business travel for tax purposes doesn't have to be a manual process. Travel Logs automatically records your trips, calculates business use percentages, and generates detailed logbook reports to help support your vehicle expense claims.
Whether you're a sole trader, contractor, small business owner, or employee claiming work-related vehicle expenses, Travel Logs makes it easy to maintain an accurate digital logbook without spreadsheets or handwritten records.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows eligible taxpayers to claim vehicle expenses using the logbook method. To do this, you need a record of your trips that demonstrates the percentage of vehicle use related to work or business activities.
A compliant logbook generally includes:
- The start and end dates of the logbook period
- Odometer readings
- The purpose of each business trip
- Kilometres travelled for business use
- The calculated business-use percentage
Travel Logs helps capture and organise this information automatically, making it easier to maintain accurate records throughout the year.
Instead of manually recording every trip, Travel Logs uses your phone's GPS to automatically detect and record journeys.
Features include:
- Automatic trip detection
- Business and personal trip classification
- Detailed trip history
- Odometer tracking
- Vehicle expense recording
- Maintenance tracking
- Exportable reports
With every journey securely stored, you always have access to the records you need when tax time arrives.
Travel Logs is ideal for:
- Sole traders
- Contractors
- Real estate agents
