Car allowance

Question: sa mga may car allowance dito, pano niyo siya nilalagay sa tax return?

I've read the ATO site: https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Tax-Return/2014/Tax-return/Deduction-questions-D1-D10/D1---Work-related-car-expenses/

Medyo may freedom kase kung anong method ang gagamitin to claim deductions. Sa mga may experience na rito, ano yung method na tingin niyo may pinakamalaking deduction?

Sabi ni boss ibibigay niya raw sakin ng buo yung allowance (i.e. walang tax) pero bahala na raw ako pagdeclare sa tax return. O kaya paubaya ko raw sa tax agent hehe

Binigyan rin ako ng option ng employer ko na icombine sya sa base salary ko at i-tax na parang income tax, tapos claim na lang ako based on logbooks and receipts.

Medyo naguguluhan pa ako. Hope someone can shed light!

    usually yan tax agent na talaga bahala, pwedeng cents per kilometre or ung actual log book ang gagamitin which is close talaga sa actual usage mo. odometer start less odometer end lang, tas less documented repairs. keep ur fuel receipts din pre. logbook ang gnagamit namin sa mga clients kc un dn ung favorable sa clients talaga..

    eto pre mas detailed haha

    @rencerencerence salamat... pero babae ako, pre.

    anyway, eh kung ayokong gumamit ng tax agent? diba pwedeng i-DIY yan, o recommended talagang mag-tax agent?

    after ko kasing mag-estimate kanina, may idea na ako roughly kung anong method ang may malaking deduction depende sa magiging % work usage ko. kung may iba sanang nag-DIY rin dito baka pwedeng magshare ng experience.

    otherwise kung totally clueless ako e di didiretso na talaga ako sa tax agent malamang.
