Travel allowance and business kms

Posted 2 July 2014

I get R36000 travel allowance per year. My business mileage is just over 40000 kms.
When I do the calculation on efiling my return is the same when I put down 40000 business kms as it is when I put down 20000 business kms.
Is this correct?
Have I hit my 'threshold' ?

Thanks!

My parents who live and work in the UK have given me some money, just under R100,000.00

They transferred it using TT from a UK bank, and this has been automatically flagged by my bank to SARS and FSB etc.

Posted 25 May 2014

What trip detail does SARS require on the vehicle log sheet as I always send a detailed sheet for each month ( March - February ) showing the date of the trip, place traveled to, starting and closing kilometres, total kms traveled and reason for the trip.
