How LogBoek works

A SARS logbook has to account for every kilometre of the year — but you only need to remember the part that matters for your claim: your business travel. LogBoek does the rest.

1. Pin the year with two odometer readings

Enter your opening reading (the start of the tax year, or the day you got the vehicle) and your closing reading. The difference is your total distance for the period.

2. Record your business trips

Add each business trip — date, destination, reason and kilometres. Repeat trips like a daily commute to a client site can be added as a recurring trip over a date range, and LogBoek skips public holidays and any leave you mark.

3. LogBoek reconciles the rest

This is the heart of it: LogBoek builds the full daily odometer chain across the year. Your business kilometres are exactly what you recorded; your private kilometres are the remainder, spread across the year so that the daily readings add up and the final reading lands exactly on your closing odometer — to the kilometre.

You record the business detail SARS asks for. The private balance is just arithmetic — and LogBoek does that arithmetic so your logbook reconciles perfectly.

4. Export a clean, SARS-ready PDF

When it reconciles, unlock the export and download a neat PDF that reads like your own carefully kept record — ready for eFiling or your tax practitioner.
