Hi @CROSSS

 

The type of vehicle that you drive can affect how you calculate your claim. A motor vehicle is either a car or 'other vehicle'.

 

A 'car' is a motor vehicle designed to carry a load of less than 1 tonne, and fewer than 9 passengers.


'Other vehicles' include motorcycles, minivans carrying more than 9 passengers, Utes or panel vans designed to carry loads of 1 tonne or more.


Expenses incurred in running a ute are not automatically tax deductible.

If the vehicle is use for business, then you may be able to claim deductions.


Refer to Motor vehicle expenses for the types of expenses that you can claim.
