Subdivision 900-C - Substantiating car expenses
SECTION 900-70 Getting written evidence
900-70(1)
For the " log book " method of deducting a *car expense, you need to substantiate the expense by getting written evidence. Subdivision 900-E tells you about the evidence you need.
Subdivision 28-F tells you about the " log book " method.
900-70(2)
(Repealed by No 162 of 2015)
900-70(3)
If you are using the
"
log book
"
method and your expense is for fuel or oil, you do not need to get written evidence of it, because section

already requires you to keep odometer records for the period when you *held the *car in the income year.
