17 The advantage of us<strong>in</strong>g this method is that you only use <strong>the</strong> flat rate <strong>for</strong> related travel. It also<br />

benefits those <strong>members</strong> who use a vehicle almost exclusively <strong>for</strong> work purposes.<br />

Example<br />

The member's car is used entirely <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> job. The only private runn<strong>in</strong>g, from <strong>the</strong> member's<br />

home <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> place of work, amounts <strong>to</strong> 1,000 km per year. Work-related travel is estimated<br />

at 12,000 km <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> year. The car comes with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1,301 <strong>to</strong> 1,600 cc rat<strong>in</strong>g band. The<br />

calculation of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividual rate is:<br />

Annual runn<strong>in</strong>g = 13,000 divided by fixed costs <strong>for</strong> cc class ($4,507)<br />

= 34.66 cents per km<br />

Plus runn<strong>in</strong>g costs =<br />

17.02 cents per km<br />

Individual special rate = 51.68 cents per km<br />

The member can be reimbursed at a rate of up <strong>to</strong> 52 cents <strong>for</strong> each work-related kilometre.<br />

18 Where all <strong>members</strong> of a body use <strong>the</strong>ir vehicles almost solely <strong>for</strong> work purposes, or travel<br />

considerable distances, you can calculate average <strong>in</strong>dividual special rates <strong>to</strong> suit groups of<br />

<strong>members</strong> ra<strong>the</strong>r than calculat<strong>in</strong>g a special rate <strong>for</strong> each person. The special rates can be<br />

different <strong>for</strong> each statu<strong>to</strong>ry body.<br />
