TaxTim Marc said: 9 November 2015 at 16:59 The depreciation element is built into the deduction calculation that SARS allows when claiming expenditure against a travel allowance. Remember when receiving a travel allowance, you would need to keep a logbook of all business travel combined with any expenditure on the car which would then be allowed as a deduction against the travel allowance. You cannot therefore claim a depreciation/wear and tear allowance on your motor vehicle as well. Please Register for TaxTim and let us assist you to complete and submit your Tax Return to SARS. |
