What RoadRecord does

RoadRecord helps you keep a vehicle logbook in the form the Australian Taxation Office expects if you use the logbook method to claim car expenses. It records trips, calculates a business-use percentage, and produces a document you can hand to your accountant or produce if you are audited.

What RoadRecord does not do

• It does not lodge anything with the ATO. Deductions are claimed on your tax return, by you or your registered tax agent.
• It does not tell you whether a trip is deductible. You classify each trip; RoadRecord records what you tell it.
• It does not support vehicles under Fringe Benefits Tax arrangements — company cars and novated leases sit under a different regime and are out of scope.

Age

RoadRecord requires 13+. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, and you are asked to confirm your date of birth when you sign up. RoadRecord is a tax record-keeping tool for drivers and is not designed for children.

Only your birth year is kept — the day and month are discarded as soon as your age has been worked out, because the app has no other use for them. If an account is found to belong to someone under 13 it will be closed and its data deleted.

Your responsibility for accuracy

You are responsible for the accuracy of your logbook. Odometer readings, trip purposes and business/private classifications are yours to confirm. GPS distance and a vehicle's true odometer diverge over time, and RoadRecord will prompt you to reconcile them — acting on those prompts is your responsibility, not the app's.

Shared vehicles

Where two or more drivers share a registration, the vehicle's odometer and details are shared between their accounts. Each driver's trips remain private to that driver. You are responsible for your own logbook and your own numbers; another driver's records are not yours to claim.

Availability

RoadRecord works offline and stores your records on your device. Cloud sync is provided on a best-effort basis and is not guaranteed to be available at all times. Keep your own backup of anything you cannot afford to lose.

Purchase

RoadRecord is a one-off purchase. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. Refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policy.

Liability

RoadRecord is provided as-is. To the extent permitted by law, no liability is accepted for any tax outcome, penalty, or loss arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these terms excludes any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
