Register for turnover tax while VAT registered - do I need to do it again?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 March 2015

I registered for VAT in 2008 when I was going to open a business. Unfortunately the business ran dead about 6 months or so later. Now I have started a small business but would like to register for turnover tax as VAT would not be necessary. Can I do this or do I need to de register from VAT? What would the procedure be. Thank you.

Can I claim for travel expense if I earn a basic and comm and my comm is less than 50% for the year?

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 March 2015

I earn a basic and commission, but my commission is less than 50% of my income for the year. I have claimed travel expenses as I use my own vehicle and pay my own petrol etc. I submitted a logbook, but they have disallowed the travel expenses as my commission is less than 50% of my total income. Is this correct? How else can I claim for my travel expenses? As it cost me R58 171. 00 for the year and I should be able to get something back surely?
