TaxTim says: 25 June 2015 at 17:27 For the interest and the electricity and other home expenses you would need to take the portion of the office as a percentage of the entire property and use that percentage to apportion the house expenses and interest and that can be deducted. The assets can be depreciated for business use and deducted as such. Register for TaxTim and let us help you complete and submit your return to SARS. |
