Nicki says: 25 August 2014 at 14:35 Yes, I am paying myself a small salary out of the company, which includes a travel allowance. I keep a logbook of all my business travel. I know there is the fixed method of determining a travel deduction, which includes the petrol portion. If I make the company pay for my petrol, would I just not include this part of the deduction in my calculation? If that is allowed? |

TaxTim says: 25 August 2014 at 14:50 If you receive a travel allowance then you will be able to claim all your costs including wear and tear when you file your return which will reduce your taxes payable. You would include these in the travel allowance section of the tax return. |

Nicki says: 25 August 2014 at 14:56 Thank you very much for your help. Just to clarify, do I not put any actual petrol expenses etc.. through the company? All goes through on my personal tax return only? |
