Business trip log
Manny tracks every business trip, mileage, meal, and meeting — builds a SARS-ready expense claim or reimbursement at month-end, no spreadsheet.
Business trip log captures every business trip, every kilometre, and every business meal silently as you go, then delivers a SARS-ready expense report on the 1st of each month so your accountant has it before they ask. Manny works off your calendar, your Gmail receipts, and the SARS rules for the current tax year — no spreadsheet, no end-of-month scramble. How this skill works: When a supplier visit, client meeting or site call lands on your Google Calendar, Manny logs the trip with the distance from your home base at the current SARS logbook rate (R4.84/km for the 2026 tax year). When a meal receipt hits Gmail at a venue near a logged trip — Flora Wholesale in Booysens on a Wednesday lunch — Manny tags it business and applies the R169/day domestic per-diem cap, with anything over captured in the audit trail. When the 1st of the month arrives at 09:00, Manny delivers a four-line summary card with total kilometres, total claimable meals, and a one-tap "Generate SARS-compliant PDF" action. When you tap to file, Manny emails the audit-ready PDF straight to your accountant under your declared method — employer reimbursement or direct expense — and keeps the method consistent for the rest of the tax year. This skill is useful when you'd rather run your business than chase mileage logs at month-end — Manny does the capture as you go, you tap once to file.
