Buying for a company on personal account - can I claim for tax purposes?

Posted 8 March 2015

I buy groceries and prepaid electricity every month for the company I work for then they refund me. Will this be an issue for SARS when I do my tax return? I spend about R50 000 odd a month.

No you can't claim for your personal tax as the money is paid back to you. There should not be an issue at all as it will not affect your personal tax situation and there is nothing to declare on your personal return.
