The short answer
Sparks Scribe logs your kilometres per shift, lets you add travel straight onto your invoices, and keeps the whole record together in the kilometre log and reports, so at tax time everything is already sitting in one place ready to export.
Sparks Scribe logs your kilometres per shift, lets you add travel straight onto your invoices, and keeps the whole record together in the kilometre log and reports. When tax time rolls around, everything you need is already sitting in one place, ready to export. What you can actually claim is a question for your accountant, but getting the record straight is what Scribe takes care of.
How do I log kilometres as I go?
Each time you drive for a shift, you can log the kilometres against that shift. Because it is recorded at the time, you are not trying to reconstruct months of driving from memory in June. It builds up automatically as part of your normal shift routine.
How does travel show up on my invoices?
When you are putting together an invoice, you can add travel with the kilometres straight onto it. That means your client, plan manager or support coordinator sees the travel component clearly, and it is already reflected in what you have billed for the period.
How do I get my travel summary at EOFY?
Your kilometre log and reports pull your travel record together in one place, so instead of digging through months of shift notes and invoices, you have a single view of your travel for the year. You can export your data at any time, which makes handing your figures to your accountant at EOFY straightforward rather than a scramble.
Does Sparks Scribe tell me what I can claim?
Sparks Scribe keeps the record honest and organised, kilometres per shift, travel on invoices, everything together in your reports. But how the tax office treats those kilometres, and what you are entitled to claim, is genuinely a question for your accountant or tax agent. We keep your numbers straight so that conversation is easy, not to give tax advice ourselves.
What's the short version?
- Log kilometres per shift as you go
- Add travel to your invoices as you bill
- Lean on the kilometre log and reports when EOFY comes around
It is one less thing to reconstruct from scratch, and one more reason your records hold up if anyone ever asks to see them.
