You are self-employed and the CRA/IRS/your accountant has informed you that you might be entitled to deduct car expenses if you took the time record all the business driving that you do. If you have blocks of time that are used for business, then the Business use of vehicle booklet is your solution. If your day is broken up with a mixture of business and other errands, then use the Family vehicle booklet.
You are self-employed, you have been using an automobile log book but it is pocket-sized, the boxes are too small to write in and you get frustrated. These books are glove compartment size (5 ½” x 8 1/2“).
You commute long distances, have three sons that disappear every evening with the car, you have fuel bills of $1,000/month and would like to figure out who should pay for all that fuel. The Family version is perfect for you.
You are environmentally concerned and want to understand some of the issues and consider making some changes in your lifestyle, this log book and the accompanying article will demonstrate the process of evaluating from the ground up what we do and why. If you want to determine when the best time is to buy a green car, this book will help you make that decision. We think that green projects are wonderful, and that is why these booklets are printed using 60% recycled paper.
You would like to find a way to save money. Since the automobile is the second most expensive item in a household, reducing the amount of money that you spend on transportation, can leave you with more money for retirement, education, leisure or to buy a better home.
You are one of those drivers that keeps forgetting to put air in the tires or you have driven the car to the point that it runs out of oil, well, absent-minded people can benefit from reminders. There is a car maintenance schedule in the back of the book with suggested frequency of checks and changes. Simply pencil in the date every time you have dealt with an item and then you can’t forget.
You just want to have a bit more control in your life. You want to know how much you are spending on various things so that you can budget. You want to get as much tax work done in advance of going to the accountant to save that extra $100.00. This book is for you, too.

You have a small business and are not sure if you would give away 100 copies. We thought of that and that is why the months are generic, the dates are listed but not the days. These books are good for years. Just store them in a dry place and keep out of direct sunlight.
You are thinking of having some other pages customized, and maybe have the front cover altered to feature your business. We can do that too. Send us an email and we can prepare a custom quote. There is also a place on the bulk order form for special instructions.
