SECTION 10-4   CAR EXPENSES RELATED TO AWARD TRANSPORT PAYMENTS  

10-4(1)   [Application]  

Division 9 of Schedule 2B (Award transport payments) allows certain expenses to be deducted without getting written evidence. The expenses are transport expenses related to an allowance or reimbursement paid or payable to you by your employer under an industrial instrument that was in force on 29 October 1986.

10-4(2)   [Where written evidence not required]  

If that Division lets you deduct car expenses, or parts of car expenses, without getting written evidence, you don't need to use any of the 4 methods to calculate your deductions for those expenses or parts of expenses.

10-4(3)   [Other car expenses]  

However, your use of the 4 methods for other car expenses you incur for the car for the income year is affected, unless you elect not to rely on Division 9 of Schedule 2B . Section 9-9 of Schedule 2B deals with this matter.
