In Australia, the mileage you can claim on tax depends on your work-related travel and the method you choose. The most common method is the cents per kilometre method, where you can claim up to 5,000 kilometres per year at a rate set by the ATO (around 72 cents per km for the 2023-24 financial year).
If you exceed 5,000 km, you must use the logbook method, which requires detailed records of all work trips to claim the exact amount.
Remember, only travel directly related to your job counts, excluding commuting from home to your regular workplace.
Keep a logbook or detailed records to avoid the tax office knocking on your door.
