Car Expenses

Do you have a 12-week Logbook? YesNo  For your BAS, if you haven't kept a logbook, the ATO allows you to estimate your percentage of business use so that we know how much of your car running costs to claim. You can make this estimate using any reasonable method, such as by referencing kilometre records from Uber, odometer readings or service records. Note that the rules are different for your end of year tax. If you want to claim your car expenses on your end of year tax return you MUST keep a logbook. Otherwise you'll be restricted to the cents per kilometre method which gives you a maximum deduction of $3,600.

What is your Logbook Percentage?*

Fuel* (Enter ALL your Fuel for the quarter, i.e. Business + Private fuel):

Insurance & CTP/Greenslip* (Only enter premiums you actually paid for during this quarter. Do not enter amounts paid earlier in the year.):

Registration* (If your registration includes CTP, enter the CTP part in the Insurance box above. Only include amounts paid in this quarter.):

Repairs & Maintenance* (E.g. servicing, parts, tyres (new or second hand) etc):

Cleaning* (See FAQ's at the top of the page for notes about claiming carwashes with no receipts):

Accessories & Other* (E.g. floor mats, car seat covers, dash cams etc ):

Hire, Rental & Lease Fees*:

Remember, a loan is different from a lease.

A loan is where you are the legal owner of the car, and you borrowed money to pay for it. Loan repayments do not have GST so are not included in your BAS, so don't include them here. We will claim the interest on your loan on your end of year tax return as long as you have kept a 12-week logbook.

A lease is where a lease company is the legal owner of the car, and you pay them a lease fee to use it. Lease payments do have GST so you can include them here, but do not include salary-packed lease payments. Remember you must have a 12-week logbook if you wish to claim your lease payments on your end of year tax return.

If you are unsure please make a note in the comments section and email your loan/lease documents to info@truetaxandaccounting.com.au after submitting your BAS so that we can check for you.

Tolls:

You have two choices for how to enter tolls:

Option 1)   Claim the amount on your rideshare summaries: Your rideshare monthly summaries include all your tolls while carrying passengers, but they do not include any tolls that you paid for when travelling in between trips or on your way to pick up a passenger.  If you did not have any of these 'in between' tolls (or only a few that aren't worth adding up), leave this question blank and we will automatically claim the amount of Tolls that your rideshare companies have listed on your monthly summaries. This is the easiest option.

Option 2)   Enter your total manually: If you want to also claim for tolls while in between trips, please enter here your total tolls on trips + tolls between trips, but excluding private trips. The easiest way is to look at your bank statements and add up the amount you paid for the quarter, and then multiply this by the percentage that you estimate your tolls are for rideshare.
