Keep a mileage log in chat

Tax offices want a mileage log made at the time of the trip, with date, route, distance and purpose. Drivers, trades and consultants can log each trip in one sentence. The deductible total is ready at year end.

Claude can do mileage math, but it can't keep a log across the year. The Mileage Log server stores every trip with date, route and purpose, applies the rate in force on each date, and gives the deductible total and a CSV for your tax return.

Without a tool, and with the tool

Without a tool

Claude can multiply miles by a rate and write a log table if you list every trip. It doesn't keep the log between chats, it doesn't know which rate applied on which date, and it can't give you one file for the whole year.

With Mileage Log

Mileage Log stores each trip with an id, date, route, distance and category, keeps rates per jurisdiction with the date each one starts, and gives the deductible total per category. It exports the whole log as CSV.

Common mistakes with this job

  • Rebuilding the log from memory at tax time, which an auditor may not accept.
  • Using one rate for the whole year when the rate changed mid-year.
  • Logging the commute from home to a regular workplace as business mileage.

Questions

Can I do this in Claude?
Claude can do mileage math, but it can't keep a log across the year. The Mileage Log server stores every trip with date, route and purpose, applies the rate in force on each date, and gives the deductible total and a CSV for your tax return.
Does it know the official rate?
No. You set each rate and its start date. The jurisdiction is a label, not legal advice.
Does logging last year's trips use this month's free allowance?
No. The 20-trip cap counts the month of the trip date.
Miles or km?
Both. Each trip and each rate carries its own unit.
