Why aren't I getting tax rebates on all my work expenses?

I contract for a UK based company and and paid in Rands each month - a salary, and all my expenses. Currently I pay a tax person in SA to do my tax (I am paid in full and then it's my responsibility to sort my tax out), however I haven't received any rebates from SARS for 3 years despite all my expenses, including travel, office rental, parking (all business related). Wondering if you can help? Would TaxTim be able to deal with my provisional tax?

We can assist in filing your tax returns and provisional tax if you Register for TaxTim however you probably do not receive any refunds as due to you paying your own taxes your income will always exceed your expenses and therefore you will always owe SARS money and so there will be nothing to refund unfortunately.
