With effect from 1st March 2010, it is a SARS requirement that everyone who receives a car/travel allowance, complete a daily logbook to support their Tax Return.

Print the Logbook and attach to a clipboard for use in your vehicle· Write the date in the applicable column (you may record many entries for one date if required)

Record the Opening Balance (this is a once-off requirement as the programme shall carry forward all balances thereafter)· Record the closing odometer reading after each trip in the relevant column (if the trip was business or private, record the odometer reading in the relevant column)· Only record the destination if the trip was for business purposes (the formulae shall record all private mileage)· Capture the details on a weekly basis on the spreadsheet (do not capture in any cells demarcated in yellow) The rest of the file is formulae driven and thus no calculations are required on your handwritten sheet in your vehicle.
