how many kms can you claim on tax

In Australia, the number of kilometres you can claim on tax depends on your work-related travel and the specific method you use. The ATO allows two main methods: the cents per kilometre method, capped at 5,000 km per year without the need for detailed logs, or the logbook method, which requires a logbook and allows claiming actual expenses for work-related use.

The cents per kilometre rate for 2023-24 is 78 cents per km. Remember, you can't claim commuting trips between home and work unless you're carrying bulky tools or equipment. For exact limits and eligibility, check the ATO guidelines or consult ServiceCentral.
