Vehicle and fuel expenses hard to track?
Fuel, rego, insurance, and maintenance costs all need to be recorded correctly to claim every deduction you're entitled to. We make sure nothing gets missed.
Drivers and subcontractors getting complicated?
Whether your drivers are employees or subcontractors changes your tax and super obligations significantly. We get the treatment right every time.
TPAR and BAS catching you off guard?
Transport businesses often need to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report on top of quarterly BAS. We handle both so you're always ATO compliant.
You pay based on what your business earns - not a flat premium rate. Bookkeeping starts from just $98/month.
Every vehicle cost recorded and categorised correctly so you claim every deduction you're entitled to at tax time.
We ensure the tax treatment for employed drivers and subcontractors is handled correctly every time - no gray areas.
Prepared and lodged with the ATO every quarter, on time - no chasing deadlines.
Run your business from the depot or the road. We work remotely with logistics and transport operators across Australia through Xero.
We don't make you wait three days for a reply. If you have a question, we get back to you quickly.
Too many transport business owners are paying flat-rate accounting fees that have nothing to do with the size of their operation. At AffordBooksTax, your fee is based on your annual revenue — so a sole operator turning over $80k pays a very different rate to a small fleet operator turning over $400k.

Yes. If you use your vehicle for business purposes, there are two ways to claim vehicle expenses with the ATO — the logbook method and the cents per kilometre method. We'll assess which method gives you the better deduction based on your situation and apply it correctly in your tax return.
BAS lodgement is a separate service but most clients bundle it with bookkeeping. You can mix and match based on what you need - see the pricing table above.
No problem - we offer catch-up bookkeeping to bring everything up to date before moving into the regular monthly routine.
