Template - Motor Vehicle Logbook

A logbook can help you get the most from your business or work-related motor vehicle use.

Download this template so you can keep track of each business or work-related trip you make.

There are also a number of apps available to download in which you can record your motor vehicle use. One of these is the myDeductions tool provided by the ATO, available for download here.

A logbook must be kept for a minimum and consecutive 12-week period. Once the logbook is completed it remains valid for 5 years, unless your work circumstances or your car-use changes significantly.

What to Record in the Logbook

The logbook should detail:

  • The opening odometer reading for the start of the 12 week period
  • For each business-related trip:
  • Date of trip
  • Destination to and from
  • Distance travelled in kilometres
  • Purpose, e.g. client meeting, site visit, etc
  • The closing odometer reading for the end of the 12 week period
