You can use this information to determine an appropriate percentage of your car expenses to deduct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>For example: If you travelled for 10,000 kilometres in your vehicle in the last financial year and your log book reveals that 50% of your travel was for work-related purposes, you would be eligible to deduct 50% of your eligible car expenses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If your total car expenses were $5,000, you would be able to claim $2,500 as a tax-deductible car expense (i.e. 50% of $2,500).<\/p>\n<p>As these examples show the log book method may not always give you the highest deductions so it is worth reviewing the method used to ensure you maximise your allowable claim.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172885 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/tax2.jpg\" alt=\"Tax2\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/tax2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/tax2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/tax2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"toc_link\" id=\"travel-to-inspect-your-investment-property\">Travel to Inspect Your Investment Property<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From 1 July 2017, travel expenses relating to your investment in <strong>residential rental property<\/strong> are generally not deductible.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, these costs are not added to the property cost base of the property for CGT purposes, so they are lost forever.<\/p>\n<p>These costs include the costs of travel, accommodation and meals to inspect, maintain or collect rent for the property.<\/p>\n<p>There are some exemptions for the related costs of distant and overnight travel, and these must be individually reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>You are allowed to deduct travel expenses relating to your\u00a0residential rental property if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you are using the property in carrying on a business (including a business of letting rental properties), or<\/li>\n<li>you are an excluded entity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"toc_link\" id=\"what-records-do-i-need-to-keep-to-claim-car-tax-deductions\">What records do I need to keep to claim car tax deductions?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You need to keep:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>records of your actual motor vehicle expenses, and<\/li>\n<li>a logbook that itemises your work-related trips if you use your vehicle for both private and work purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You need to keep these records for at least five years after you submit your tax return in case you are ever audited by the ATO.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This is a general summary only \u2013 you can get more information from the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/uploadedFiles\/Content\/IND\/Downloads\/Car-expenses-factsheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>ATO here<\/em><\/a><em> or form a registered tax professional<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- BODY -->\r\n<!-- \/21854739906\/WADiff \r\n<div class='gam-diff googlead' id='div-gpt-ad-1591954226942-0'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1591954226942-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div> -->\r\n\r\n<div class=\"adplugg-tag\" data-adplugg-zone=\"wealth_advisory_mobile_\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"adplugg-tag\" data-adplugg-zone=\"wealth_advisory_desktop_\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you use your own car for work purposes, you could be eligible to claim a tax deduction for car expenses, whether you own your car outright, are leasing it or paying it off.
