Can a commission earning employee without a travel allowance claim depreciation on a vehicle - 4027

By Marc Sevitz · Updated

I am a commission earning employee without a travel allowance - am I able to claim depreciation on my vehicle due to the fact that I use my vehicle daily for work purposes ( driving to and from clients ) under section 4027 ?

Yes you are, but you would need to apportion the depreciation for business use and be able to prove to SARS that you can justify this claim.
Salary / IRP5
Independent Contractor
Deductions
Commission
Depreciation / Wear and Tear
Travel Allowance
