This year I want to use a better way to keep track. (Pretty sure i said that last year too!!) I ended up with only 2 today so that will be my goal for today....getting a spreadsheet ready to keep track!!

I claim Km's if it's a trip that I buy anything for dc, even if I buy personal things....is that correct?
This was my area of weakness too, and I got a right old telling off from my new accountant last time I filed because of consistent empty boxes on my spreadsheet for this kind of thing. My vehicle is solely for daycare which makes it easier for the most part with mileage, but I never keep receipts for maintenance which I know I can claim. Hopefully this year when I claim that area will be a bit better. It is the first vehicle I have leased versus purchased outright or financed so I'm not sure how that works with my monthly payment but we will see.
