Ah, the delightful world of tax deductions—where your fuel expenses become a game of arithmetic and paperwork. In Australia, the amount of fuel you can claim depends on whether you use the cents per kilometre method or the logbook method. The cents per kilometre method lets you claim a flat rate per business kilometre (up to 5,000 km), currently 78 cents per km, covering fuel and other running costs. Alternatively, the logbook method requires you to keep a detailed logbook for 12 continuous weeks and claim the business-use percentage of your actual fuel expenses. Remember, these rules are as thrilling as watching paint dry, so check the ATO's official guidelines or consult ServiceCentral for the latest updates.
