What proof to submit to SARS for depreciation on a vehicle?



I can't find the invoice for my car which I purchased new and paid for in cash in 2010. What proof would I need to submit to SARS instead to claim depreciation on this vehicle? (I work mainly for commission and I use my car mainly for business purposes).

You could contact the seller of the car to request an invoice again or else you must get the value of the car in 2010 from a reputable institution such as the AA.
