Log Books

A log book is located in each UNE Vehicle. The log book must be completed by you, the driver for each trip. Multiple journeys made in any one day may be treated as a single journey as long as the trips are concurrent (i.e. one after the other). Failure to complete and sign the log book may lead to the journey being deemed by the Australian Taxation Office as assessable for fringe benefits tax (FBT) purposes. This may result in the vehicle FBT being reported on your personal group certificate.

If you have a salary package or contract vehicle, you must itemize your private and business use by the end of each month, to minimize FBT to you and UNE. You must forward the log book to Fleet & Logistic at the end of each calendar month.

The nominated staff member from Departments, Faculties & Schools, responsible for specifically allocated vehicles, must forward the log book to Fleet & Logistic Services at the end of each month.
