Built for South African tax law
RecordMyRide watches your GPS in the background, notices the moment a journey ends, and asks one question: Business or Private? That’s the whole logbook. No odometer photos, no end-of-year guesswork, no spreadsheet you forgot to update since March.
No card required. Cancel any time.
The problem with logbooks
Section 8(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act is specific: opening and closing odometer readings, the date, the distance, and the business purpose of every trip you want to claim. Most people write it up once a year, from memory, the week before their return is due — which is exactly when an auditor is least likely to believe it.
What it actually does
Background GPS notices when you start and stop driving — no button to press, nothing to remember before you pull out of the driveway.
Drive to the same client twice and RecordMyRide starts suggesting the classification for you. Confirm once, and it remembers.
Every business trip, with real odometer readings interpolated from your own periodic check-ins, exported as a compliant PDF whenever you need it.
Why this exists
RecordMyRide comes out of AdVenture Designs, the team behind EmergiTag. We built this because reconstructing a year of business travel from memory is a genuinely bad way to spend an evening — and because SARS doesn’t grade on effort.
