You can deduct the laptop if you use it for work, if you also use it for personal use then you need to apportion the cost between work and private use. If the laptop was under R7 000 then you can write off the full amount apportioned for business use. If not then please use our Wear and Tear calculator to work out how much you can write off. |

TaxTim says: 14 October 2013 at 21:51 You can deduct the fees against private income earned as long as you are not salaried in earning that income, ie. you are not under employment. You would be able to deduct the business expense of calls against this income yes, again provided you are not salaried. |
