Use a car for work or business – either in your own name or through a company?

A simple 12-week logbook plus the right odometer readings can make a big difference at tax time.

✅ What to record in your logbook
- Date of each trip
- Start & end odometer readings
- Total km
- Reason for the trip (work/business)

📅 Odometer readings – when to do them

Individuals (using the car for work):
- Take an odometer reading at:
- The start and end of your 12-week logbook period, and
- 1 July and 30 June each year (start/end of the financial year).

Companies (including directors/employees with a company car):
- Take an odometer reading at:
- The start and end of the 12-week logbook period, and
- The start and end of the FBT year (1 April – 31 March).

❗ Why it matters
- Individuals: Supports your work-related car deduction and can help maximise it.
- Companies: Helps calculate business vs private use and may reduce FBT on company cars.

No logbook + no odometer readings often = limited claim or higher FBT.

Hi Everyone
APC Accounting would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you for a fantastic year and I appreciate all the support. Without my clients, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish my dream of having my own business.
APC Accounting will be closed from Friday 19th December and returning Monday 13th January. During this time I will have very limited access to emails and calls.
Stay safe!!

Work-Related Expenses
As an employee, you can claim a deduction for work-related expenses that directly relate to your job. This includes uniforms, protective clothing, tools, and professional memberships.
Remember to keep thorough records of your expenses throughout the year, as receipts are crucial for substantiating your claims during tax time.
Contact me today 😀

Hi Everyone
Any client of mine, I sent an email last week Tuesday, which was a newsletter and a “book now” if you want to get your 2024 tax return done face to face or via zoom.
Please check your junk/spam in case you missed it. If you can move it to your inbox or mark it as safe that would be ideal so you can receive future newsletters to your inbox.
Thanks
Anthony

REFERRAL INCENTIVE

I am looking at the continual growth of my business as I really enjoy the work I do. In 2024, I want to look at rewarding my clients for referring my accounting services to others, as I am thankful for their continuing support.

Anyone that refers another individual to me, I would be happy to provide a 10% discount on their next tax return, based on the price I charged for 2023.

Anyone that refers a business to me, I would be happy to provide a 25% discount on their next tax return, based on the price I charged for 2023.

I can't express how much I appreciate your support with my business.

I hope that everyone has a great 2024!!
