⚠️ Records & money tools only — this is NOT a work diary and never replaces the NHVR diary where the law requires one. Not tax advice; confirm claims at ato.gov.au or with your accountant.
On-road diesel is 21.3¢/L from 3 Aug 2026 (20.2¢/L from 1 Jul 2026). Fuel burnt by auxiliary equipment — fridge unit, PTO, agitator — claims at 53.7¢/L, not the road rate. FTC rates change every February and August — get today's from the ATO fuel tax credit calculator (Handy Links). GST-registered business use only; your accountant claims it on the BAS from these totals.
📸 Snap the receipt with your camera too — file it in a monthly album. This log is the index; the photo is the proof.

⚖️ Worth knowing since 1 Aug 2026: the law now backs you parking it when you're not right to drive for any reason — sick, injured, stressed, not just tired — on any truck over 4.5t. Nobody up the chain is allowed to push you to keep going. Details at NHVR above.
