Is a loan to an employee a S11a deduction?

Posted 24 January 2015

If a company borrows e. G R5000 to an employee, with no interest, Is it a S11 (a) deduction? where do I work it in, in the taxable income of a company?

It cannot be a deduction if you lend it to him, he will however have to pay tax on the interest he would have paid if he had borrowed the money - this would be a fringe benefit to him and taxable.
