FBT motor vehicle log book reminder
If you use the operating cost method for calculating your motor vehicle FBT and you have not completed a log book now is the time to start.
If you complete a logbook within 12 weeks of the end of the FBT year it can be used for the proceeding year. You also need to complete a new logbook every five years.
A logbook must be maintained for a continuous period of 12 weeks and contain the following information.
- The date journey began and ended (multiple journeys are treated as a single entry)
- Odometer readings of the car at the start and end
- Number of kilometres travelled by the car
- The purpose of the travel.
For each FBT year odometer readings of the car must be maintained at the start and end of the FBT year.
