per km rate 2022 Page 5

Chasing the ATO cents‑per‑kilometre rate for 2022? For the 2021–22 income year it’s 72c per km, then from 1 July 2022 (the 2022–23 year) it jumps to 78c per km.

It covers fuel, maintenance, rego, insurance and depreciation—so no double‑dipping. You can claim up to 5,000 business kilometres per car using this method, and yes, keep decent records of how those trips were work‑related. Home‑to‑work commutes usually don’t count, unless you’re lugging bulky tools or meet other narrow exceptions. This is general info, not tax advice; chat to your accountant if things get curly.
