Hi Tim, I get a travel allowance but however I started receiving it in June, but always had used the car since the month of April! So when do I start the date of my logbook for efiling?

You would use the logbook from the first day you received a travel allowance as this is when you are going to claim a reduction in the taxes paid for the business use, and that is the date that SARS requires proof of your business trips for.
