Motor vehicle logbooks

If you need to complete a new logbook for a motor vehicle you need to start now so your 12 weeks is finished in time for the end of the FBT year on 31 March 2008.

A new logbook must be completed every five years or if the pattern of use has changed.

Your logbook needs to contain the following information:

• When the logbook period begins and ends

• The car’s odometer readings at the start and end of the logbook period

• The total number of kilometres that the car travelled during the logbook period

• The number of kilometres travelled for work activities

• The purpose of the travel

• The business use percentage for the logbook period.

Logbooks can be purchased from your local newsagent.
