Who is GPS Log Book for?

Since 2011, any person who receives a travel allowance is required to present a logbook to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) before any travel tax claim can be processed.

Whether you’re self-employed, a small business owner or corporate employee, tracking your travel and fuel expenses is important for business and tax purposes.

-Bak

“All our reps used to do manual logbooks. After implementing these units our expenses have gone down by 40% on our fuel. These units have already paid for themselves. Thanks for the great product. I was so impressed I bought one for myself and will be claiming back in the region of about R 36 000 from SARS.”

-Kobus

Your online database is easy to navigate and quick to use. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a digital logbook. And most importantly it’s priced right too. There is another product on the market that doesn’t offer half as much convenience and literally costs double the price. In addition to all these benefits is the fact that I can simply plug the device directly into my lighter socket and forget it’s even there!
