Travel expenditure claimable?

I am contracted out from my company where I am employed as a permanent employee. I have realised that I should have a travel allowance as I should be able to claim all the km's from the office to the respective clients?

The claimable distances are about 26km x2 per working day. However, I don't have a travel allowance on my payslip. Your advice?

You should ask your employer to make a portion of your salary a travel allowance so that you may claim back the amount spent for business travel at the tax year end.
