Description
Little LogBook is a GPS device, no larger than a flash drive. It uses a minimum of four satellites to log your kilometers as you drive. This information is translated into a SARS-compliant report, using powerful software developed and supported in South Africa. Current tax laws in South Africa require that ALL taxpayers with a car allowance submit a detailed logbook of business mileage. Without this logbook, the monthly tax benefits received are lost and the shortages would need to be paid back to SARS at the end of the tax year. For example, a car with a value of R250 000 with 20 000 business kilometers traveled, could result in a payment to SARS of R15 892 at the end of the year (see case study). This is an unnecessary amount to lose, specifically because an inexpensive solution is available. Little LogBook is a GPS device, no larger than a flash drive. It uses a minimum of four satellites to log your kilometers as you drive. This information is translated into a SARS-compliant report, using powerful software developed and supported in South Africa. The beauty of Little LogBook is the simplicity of use and wealth of information gained. Start by plugging the device into the cigarette lighter to power up. Little LogBook will automatically log all mileage on the device as you drive around. End by downloading the information via your USB port on your PC to Little LogBook software. Quickly identify unknown trips by viewing the trip at street level on Google Maps (subject to acceptance of Google Maps Terms & Conditions of Use, http://maps.google.com /help/terms_maps.html). Mark trips as private or business if business, add relevant trip information. The software automatically identifies the GEO locations, e.g. Randburg. These can be renamed, e.g. Office. Every time you return to that point, the software will instinctively recognise that you are at the Office. It couldn't be easier! Little LogBook is designed and programmed to track your mileage (kilometres) as you drive. Place the Little LogBook device in an upright position on the dashboard of the vehicle, ensuring a clear view of the sky and satellites above. The Little LogBook is kept in position with the adhesive dashboard strips provided. Connect the Little LogBook to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, using the power supply included. A solid green LED lights up on the device and it starts searching for satellites immediately, until a lock is made on a minimum of four satellites. As accuracy is key to the Little LogBook's function, it is important to wait until a full fix is achieved before departing on a business trip. This full acquisition of satellites is indicated on the device when the green LED starts flashing. The Little LogBook is now geared for action. The light will remain flashing as long as it has sight of at least four satellites. Light returns to solid if satellites are lost. Your work here is done... As you drive around, the Little LogBook does everything automatically. It commits to memory GPS co-ordinates every 3 seconds, ensuring optimal accuracy of the mileage recorded and your SARS tax report. To improve start up time, the Little LogBook is AGPS enabled. In short, Advanced Global Positioning Satellite (AGPS) positions are uploaded onto the Little LogBook dongle automatically when the unit is synced with the Little LogBook software loaded on your PC. This information guides the device in searching for the satellites by mapping the sky. The information is available weekly for the ensuing week and greatly improves on start up times, therefore also improving accuracy. Although Little LogBook does all the hard work for you, you are still required to identify business trips, including adding the qualifying reason for the business trip, to generate the SARS compliant tax report. This can be done at any time as the software has been cleverly designed to assist in clearly recalling and viewing previous trips and effortlessly assisting in turning the data into a SARS-compliant log.
