Mileage
Business Vehicle and Mileage Records: What to Track
A simple mileage and vehicle-record routine for self-employed workers.
When a vehicle is used for both business and personal travel, the quality of the mileage record matters as much as the receipts.
Record each business trip
Capture the date, destination, business purpose and kilometres. Consistent odometer records can help support total annual use.
Keep vehicle receipts
Fuel, maintenance, insurance, registration and other vehicle costs should be supported by source documents.
Do not assume every trip is business
The facts and purpose of the trip determine how it should be treated. Keep enough detail to explain why the travel related to earning business income.
