8 8 ABAX TRIPLOG COMPANY VEHICLES The ABAX Triplog is developed in collaboration with Siemens and Telenor especially to meet the demands regarding mileage claims set out by the tax authorities. A profitable and useful tool for a company and its employees.

9 The difference is ABAX 9 AVOID TAX HITS Companies that have neglected to maintain their mileage claims or declare the actual use of their company vehicles can receive six figure fines. One pharmaceutical company in the south-east of England was fined 10 million in relation to badly maintained mileage claims of over 1,000 drivers. The drivers are also at risk of penalties that could reach into five figures. It s not easy for an individual to keep track of all the tax authorities rules and requirements. That is why at ABAX we are always updated with the latest regulations - so you can concentrate on running the business. Do you want to know what the Tax Law says? Are you unsure of what is presently valid? Our expertise and follow-up on all tax regulations allows us to offer tax consulting as part of our customer service package. TAX RULES IN If a company car driver makes good the cost of the fuel used for private journeys, the fuel benefit charge does not need to be declared on the P11D. A digital mileage claim reduces tax paid by the business and employee. 2. Commercial vehicles are exempt from the benefit in kind charge if the vehicle is not used for personal use. The onus is on the business and employee to demonstrate that no private use takes place. 3. Commuting to a permanent place of work is private mileage. Any employee who commutes in a company vehicle must declare the benefit in kind on their P11D. MAKE SAVINGS WITH ABAX A great number of companies using ABAX products see it as a safeguard against unwanted tax penalties. In addition to the reduced risk of fines, you can also save substantial money throughout the vehicle pool. This can be through the reduction in time required to maintain a mileage log and the subsequent reduction in business mileage claimed - partly due to a more efficient driving pattern amongst the employees when the GPS trackers installed in the vehicles.

10 10 ABAX TRIPLOG PRIVATE CARS ABAX uses a roaming SIM card. Stay connected GREY FLEET AND PRIVATE CARS A COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO BUSINESS TRAVEL Grey fleet drivers are employees that drive their own cars for business. Having grey fleet drivers can be more beneficial for businesses that do not travel high business mileage, however grey fleet drivers can sometimes be hard to manage in respect of mileage, accident management and general vehicle maintenance. If a grey fleet driver is out on business, your company could be liable if they were to have an accident. There is also the AMAP rates to consider and overall duty of care.

11 The difference is ABAX 11 ABAX TRIPLOG PRIVATE CARS ABAX Triplog is designed for maintaining mileage claims for private cars as well as company cars. Mileage expense claims are a difficult document to compile efficiently, accurately and correctly. Triplog records each and every journey conducted by the vehicle and stores that data securely on our servers. All information required by HMRC is recorded alongside the trip data. Triplog can be configured to use HMRC s advisory mileage allowance payments or a rate set by the system administrator. ABAX can integrate with many accounting and payroll systems to allow for seamless payment of 100% accurate mileage claims. REMUNERATION WITH ABAX Triplog does more than just record the whereabouts of a vehicle. The Triplog contains all information required by HMRC such as the driver s name, vehicle type, date of trip, start and end location and distance travelled. All that is required from the driver is the addition of a purpose for business travel and confirmation that the trip was private or business travel. Additional information is also available to make administration of the mileage claim easier. Claims for carrying a passenger, parking or toll crossings can also be assigned to a trip. ABAX DRIVER PRIVACY Employers are free to require that all mileage claims are submitted by digitally ABAX Triplog. However it is crucial that employees are made aware that this is not tracking, especially in company or private cars. Information recorded by ABAX is sent to the employee first for administration. All employees have their own password and can administrate their mileage claim before it is visible by their employer. The times during which the vehicle can be seen by the administrator is set by the employee. Information such as speed and personal travel can remain private if the employee wishes.
