TaxTim says: 28 September 2015 at 10:54 You can claim the full interest and when you calculate the wear and tear you would use the cost less the interest and add the VAT then divide by 7 to work out the wear and tear. |

TaxTim says: 29 September 2015 at 9:01 Apologies for the way the answer read, you would take the car value plus the VAT and use that to depreciate. Then the interest each year that you paid can be deducted as well. Not the entire interest over the period. For example: Value R200 000 VAT 28 000 Interest over 5 years R40 000 Year 1: Depreciation - 228 000/7 Interest - R40 000/5 |
