What is mobiletripsheet?

mobiletripsheet is a vehicle log book on your cellphone... here's how it works:

Keep an accurate and detailed log book using mobiletripsheet on your mobile phone, backed up to your web-profile and you could claim a substantial amount back from SARS on your tax return. This tax claim is only pertinent if you use your personal car during the course of a business day i.e. travelling from home to work and back does not count. mobiletripsheet is great for self-employed individuals and/or if you have a car allowance.


Cost: R299
Includes software and license
(License valid for 24 months)

BENEFITS

  • Web based logbook backup

From the 2008 Tax Year, without a logbook, SARS will deem your first 18 000 kms as private mileage, non-claimable! In other words, if your total annual mileage was 29 000 kms and you had actually only done 10 000 kms privately, YOU COULD LOSE OVER R24,000 of claimable tax!

Also, if you claim back business mileage from your employer on a per kilometre basis then mobiletripsheet is the mobile e-tool for you! Keep your log book, recording business mileage, and generate the report from your web-profile at the end of the month and submit it to your place of employ to claim back you mileage and/or fuel expenses.

mobiletripsheet, a mobile and web based application for MIDP1 & MIDP 2+ Cellular Phones, Symbian, Palm OS and Microsoft Pocket PC as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer, enabling business people the ability to log all kilometers travelled, both business and personal, as well as all fuel and other expenses purchased on their cellular phone and upload this information to a personal web interface. From the web interface accurate log reports can be viewed and exported to Microsoft Excel for filing as part of an annual tax return.

    "The person standing on
    the mountain top did not
    get there by falling.


    You have to climb to where you want to go--and you cannot get there by climbing over others. It is about climbing with others, side by side, and even pulling some others up with you.
    Are you willing to do that? If you are, you'll get to that high place, and others will be happy that you're there--which is what will keep you there."
    "Neale Donald Walsch"
    ===========================
    The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development. I used to say, "If you will take care of me, I will take care of you." Now I say, "I will take care of me for you if you will take care of you for me"
