Have car allowance but using car that is not registered in my name?



I get a car allowance and the car I am using is registered in my wife's name. She is paying for the vehicle. Sars is refusing to pay me a refund because the car I am using is not registered in my name. Can they do this or do I have grounds to dispute this.

If she owns the car and has not given it to you as a gift and is not yours in anyway then no unfortunately you will not be able to claim for it.
