Journeyman says: 6 June 2016 at 15:30 I will be claiming tax back on travel for business use for the first time. I have maintained a logbook since starting my new job in the middle of the current tax year 2015/16. Please advise what the "fixed cost" is, and how I can calculate what tax rebate I should expect to receive from SARS in July. |
TaxTim says: 6 June 2016 at 16:49 Please make use of our Travel Allowance calculator to get an idea of which is the best method you should use when claiming a travel allowance deduction. |
Journeyman says: 6 June 2016 at 18:40 Great, thanks for the response. The calculator. It's exactly what I was looking for. |
Journeyman says: 6 June 2016 at 18:42 Am I still entitled to the rebate if the car I use for work purposes is not registered in my name? I am the only driver of the vehicle. |
TaxTim says: 7 June 2016 at 11:32 Yes you can claim this deduction, you would just need to justify to SARS why the car is not in your name if queried. |
Journeyman says: 7 June 2016 at 11:38 Great, thanks for the feedback. |
TaxTim says: 7 June 2016 at 11:57 Only a pleasure! |
