Tax refund punts are the best punts.

Else if desperate, just "create" one.
Try keep it as plausible as possible based on meetings in your calendar

Your Google maps also has a timeline so you can see when u visited your clients

And don't do anything stupid like accidently say u visited clients in a Sunday (unless you can justify)



What he said....Excel is your friend....use google maps to work out plausible work trips and distance

@TheMuff and Jo-Mo why so much private?
I would think that one would get a better return if more KM was business?
(I don't know any better I'm merely asking)



I've had audit, on audit for 3 years in a row, until "they" were happy with the format and ratio between business and private kms.

Even had to get a letter stating I work from home.

Keep in mind, travelling from home to office and back is regarded as private.

Easy - create it quickly in Excel. Loke other said, keep it reasonable. Claim Saturdays / public holidays, as you might be required to visit clients then, like retail shops... Good luck! Ou kieswetter needs to sharpern the tools on the caders...

Depends though, being a contractor, working from home mostly, office travel is business travel for me ;-)

Be very careful in claiming your home office if you work from home. Yes, by doing that you may save a few bucks.

BUT, you may jeopardise your primary home CGT benefit once you have done that.

In most cases that CGT benefit is multiple times the meagre "office" tax saving..and totally the wrong way to go.

Same here and it was considerably more. I took the money and ran before they changed their minds.
