How to calculate travel expenses?
By Alicia Human · Updated
I will be claiming tax back on travel for business use for the first time. I have maintained a logbook since starting my new job in the middle of the current tax year 2015/16. Please advise what the "fixed cost" is, and how I can calculate what tax rebate I should expect to receive from SARS in July.
Please make use of our Travel Allowance calculator to get an idea of which is the best method you should use when claiming a travel allowance deduction.
Great, thanks for the response. The calculator. It's exactly what I was looking for.
Am I still entitled to the rebate if the car I use for work purposes is not registered in my name? I am the only driver of the vehicle.
Yes you can claim this deduction, you would just need to justify to SARS why the car is not in your name if queried.
Great, thanks for the feedback.
Only a pleasure!
