Nicki said: 17 September 2015 at 14:03 I am needing to do tax returns going back to 2010!! If I received a reimbursive travel allowance (reflected under code 3702 on my IRP5), can I claim a travel deduction based on the fixed cost method? |

Nicki said: 21 September 2015 at 8:16 Yes I did keep a logbook for all my tax years. I am just not sure that because it is a reimbursive allowance (and not a normal fixed travel allowance) if this has any bearing on the deduction you can claim? |

Nicki said: 22 September 2015 at 8:11 3702 appears on my IRP 5 - a reimbursive travel allowance. |

TaxTim Marc said: 23 September 2015 at 17:55 You would still complete the tax return and the travel allowance section of the tax return using your logbook. SARS will then deduct the business portion against the allowance received. |
