In what instances could you claim maintenance expenses, toll fees and tires against a travel allowance?
A proper logbook has been kept of all business km, therefore currently doing the calc based on fixed cost per km and multiplying this with the total business km.

You can claim all of those, but if you are using the SARS rate per km then that includes all types of costs. Please make use of our Travel Allowance calculator to see which method either fixed or actual works out better for you.
