Car Deductions & ATO Audits: Logbooks, Utes + FBT Rules

Car deductions are one of the most overclaimed—and most audited—areas in Australia, especially for business owners and property investors. This episode explains what you can and can’t claim, how the cents-per-kilometre method compares to the logbook method, and the evidence the ATO expects if you’re reviewed. You’ll also learn why many utes aren’t automatically “exempt,” how the car limit affects GST and depreciation, and how FBT registration can reduce long audit exposure.
