Medical Aid & Car & Travel Allowance Questions
By Marc Sevitz · Updated
What is the difference between a car/Motor Vehicle allowance and travel allowance or are they the same thing? I don't travel for the company, but could I still get a car/Motor Vehicle allowance?
Your employer can pay for your medical this way, but you will be taxed on the amount given to you, as if it were income like a salary, the same with an allowance for a motor vehicle. You are able to claim tax credits for contributions to medical aids and business travel against the car allowance.
