Think there's a limit with no log books

Yeah up to 5000kms he said, I thought Toby said something like 3500km without a book but I may have made that number up in my head...

Either way, I've got a log booked 6950kms in 12 weeks

Do they multiply that by 4 to equal a full year? If so, that seems very high but I'll happily take it lol

Take your income from your PAYG slips deduct expenses

yes - Tax credits etc, medicare, flood levy, hecs/help

Total credits from payment summaries, for example, total tax withheld - enter tax withheld.

Will say what you will get as return.

Relaxing Thursday nights and I see Tax......LOL

Limit for no log book is 5,000kms

No limit for no log book. Log book goes off actual expenditure rather than km's travelled.

Actual deduction for 5,000km's @ 75cents is $3,750 so that's where you might be getting confused Dezz

Let's hope your little calculator is accurate :)

Think that's what I said? He claimed 5000kms at 74cents

I did a log book for 12 weeks, 6950kms for business use in that 12 weeks. So will it be the 6950kms claimed or 6950kms x 4 (12 weeks = ~3 months, 3months x 4 = 12 months)?

lol well it is the ATO gov website.

The question is if you have calculated your deductions correctly.

Im told that if you traveled 7000km for work out of 10,000km total driven. That equals 70% work use of total kilometres

So sum up all your car expenses (fuel, insur etc) and multiply that by 70%, thats what you can claim back.

Now, you can go with no log book and claim 74% but only to a maximum of 5000km

so 5000km * 0.74 = $3700 maximum claim

however your 10,000km cost you $6k of expenses, multiply by 0.7 = $4200 claim

Hope that clears it up?

edit: re-read made a change

Log book is calculated at 'expense x business % rate'

Note to Dezz include your business usage % in your logbook if you haven't already done so.

Put the tax calculator down brah and you'll find out what you get tomorrow :P

Yes and no... It doesn't matter too much as Toby is doing it all for me, but I wanna know how it all works for personal knowledge...

In the 12 weeks I log booked, I did 7548kms, 6950 of that was for work which equates to 92% business use.

So with the 74c/km figure, does that only apply to the 6950 (12 weeks worth of driving) or is it multiplied to get 52 weeks (~28,000kms) and then multiplied by .74c?

so the logbook is used to work out your business:personal usage of kilometres.

Then once you have that calculated, it is multiplied to all your expenses during that financial year.

No log book means you can only claim back a maximum of $3700.

I see

you can pick any 12 weeks in the financial year to calculate your business usage % so long as you have it documented (which you have)

That 92% will be applicable for the next 5 financial years, so you will not need to logbook after this year.

That was pretty much the only part I got lol

Now it's seeming like a waste of time as 92% of $1500 is a lot less than $3700...

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
