Once you use the flat rate for a vehicle, you keep using it for as long as you have that vehicle. Either way, you need to be able to show which journeys were for the business: the date, where you went, why, and the miles.<\/p>\n\t\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What MoveJack records for every journey<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\t\n\t<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing to start or stop. The app notices when you set off and arrive, and records:<\/p>\n\t\n\t\n\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t\n\t<li>the date, and the time you left and arrived<\/li>\n\t\n\t\n\t<li>the start and end address, as an address rather than coordinates<\/li>\n\t\n\t\n\t<li>the miles driven, measured by GPS<\/li>\n\t\n\t\n\t<li>the vehicle, if you use more than one<\/li>\n\t\n\t\n\t<li>business, personal or commute; with your home and work address saved, the app fills that in itself<\/li>\n\t\n\t\n\t<li>a note per journey, such as the client or the job<\/li>\n\t\n\t<\/ul>\n\t\n\t\n\t<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If something is off, you fix it: split a journey, merge two, or add one by hand.

Keep self-employed records for at least five years after the January filing deadline; a yearly export covers that. Examples on <a href=\"\/en\/reports\/\">reports<\/a>. Working on site at clients?

MoveJack keeps no central copy of your journeys, and you do not need an account. Your journeys leave the device only when you export or share a report. For single features, such as turning a location into an address, the app sends one coordinate to a map service; your trip history does not go with it.
