Most Sydney Businesses Get This Logbook Rule Wrong (2026 Tax Guide)

Описание: Most Sydney business owners think they need to track every kilometre all year.

They don’t.

In this video, we explain the 12-week logbook rule most people misunderstand — and how smart operators use it to legally maximise their car deductions every financial year.

You’ll learn:

Why 12 weeks is all the ATO actually requires

How one short logbook period can cover your entire year’s expenses

When the best time is to start (hint: not July 1)

What makes a logbook “representative” in the ATO’s eyes

The common mistakes accountants see every tax season

If you use a car for business in Sydney — tradie, contractor, consultant, sales rep — this is one rule you need to understand before tax time rolls around again.
