Thread: car allowance

The ATO rates are what you are allowed to claim as a tax deduction for work related car expenses BUT only up to 5,000 kms.

Getting paid a mileage claim / allowance and claiming c/km in your tax is not double dipping because the claim / allowance is part of your taxable income.

If you are over the 5,000 kms you can't claim using c/km and have to apportion your car expenses (including notional depreciation) between business and private use.
