Can a sales representative claim on car installments?
By Marc Sevitz · Updated
I just started a new position as a sales representative, and the car I am currently using is quiet old. As I will be travelling a lot to see clients I would like to buy a new reliable car. Would I be able to make a claim on the monthly installments for this new car, as it will be used mainly for work? If so, what percentage can I claim?
Do you receive a travel allowance?
Hi Tim,
No, I do not.

It would be best to negotiate a travel allowance or reimbursive allowance with your employer otherwise you can claim petrol and depreciation on the vehicle, but you must keep a full logbook and receive a letter from your employer stating that you are required to use your car for work purposes.
Thanks Tim. I appreciate the assistance!
Only a pleasure!
