Logbook app for Aussie drivers
Track your work trips, watch your kilometre cap and build logbook reports for your tax agent. Everything organised and ready for tax time.
Car records are easy to miss when you're on the road
From untracked trips to missed deadlines, it all adds up.
Every kilometre you forget to log is money left off your tax return. Ocaro keeps the record for you.

Ocaro logs every trip with date, distance and odometer reading in the background.

The cap meter
See what's left before the cap
The cents-per-kilometre method is capped at 5,000 work kilometres a year. Ocaro keeps a live dial: white for what you've driven, a small stroke of red for what's left.

Two ways to claim
Ocaro handles both methods
Use the method that gets you the bigger deduction. We keep the records for either.
Cents per kilometre
Claim a set rate for up to 5,000 work kilometres. No receipts needed, but you must be able to show how you worked out your kilometres.
- Live cap meter
- Trip history you can show the ATO
Logbook method
Keep a continuous 12-week logbook to work out your business-use percentage, then claim that share of your running costs.

Questions
Good to know
Who is Ocaro for?
Employees, sole traders and gig drivers in Australia who use their own car for work and want to claim it on their tax return.
Is a digital logbook accepted by the ATO?
The ATO accepts electronic records as long as they contain the required details. Ocaro captures date, distance, odometer readings and trip purpose.
Do I have to track every trip?
For the cents-per-kilometre method you need a reasonable way to show how you worked out your kilometres. For the logbook method, you track one continuous 12-week period.
Is this tax advice?
No. Ocaro is a record-keeping tool. Check ato.gov.au or talk to a registered tax agent about your own situation.
