You start Uber for the day, write down kms/date/time etc in your log book. Do your uber trips etc as per normal, then when you finish Uber write down your ending kms/date/time. You don't need to keep a logbook for EACH uber trip, but you do need to keep one for each uber 'shift' as such.Or I just need to write the KM to KM that I used for the business purpose a whole day? like 20 trips for a single column?
Thank you so much, Big help.You start Uber for the day, write down kms/date/time etc in your log book. Do your uber trips etc as per normal, then when you finish Uber write down your ending kms/date/time. You don't need to keep a logbook for EACH uber trip, but you do need to keep one for each uber 'shift' as such.
So if you head out to do uber once a day for 8 hours straight and do 30 uber trips in that time, you only need one logbook entry, not 30.
From here you can work out that you did say 10,000kms over that 12 weeks, of which 8,000kms had been for uber aka business. So your business usage rate is 80% for tax purposes.
Do you really think that ATO officer will do surveillance on you dropping Mrs off to work?I have a question about log book entries. Let's say I start out by dropping the wife off at her work, then turn the app on and do 10 trips. Then I head back to pick the lady from her work and go home. Is it legal to record the whole trip as "Business"?
Hey mate, what do you mean by just claim 5000km and all deductions? Sorry bit of a newbie here and not sure what that means in context.If you are a full time driver use a logbook otherwise claim 5000KM and all deductions.
Logbook you need to prove percentage business vs personal use.
But if you insist log on reset the odomitor do your day work and record the end readings.
For income tax purposes you have the option of using what is known as the cents per km method. This means that rather than using your actual car running costs and splitting them between business and private use based on your vehicle log book you can use 66 cents per business km in your tax return. You're limited to 5000 for a car using this method.Hey mate, what do you mean by just claim 5000km and all deductions? Sorry bit of a newbie here and not sure what that means in context.
