Travel Claim not allowed by SARS
By Alicia Human · Updated
Hi Tim, I received a travel allowance upfront however I do a lot of traveling between two offices and I claim back travel on a monthly basis capped at 1850kms though I travel in excess of 2000kms per month. I've filed my tax return showing both business travel and personal but now SARS says I owe them about R27000. How is that possible when I didn't claim for the excess travel I did, just the capped 1850km. I can follow through their calculation but do not understand why they didn't include business kilometers in their calculation.
It would appear SARS have not taken into account the business KM. You now need to file a dispute with them by clicking on the RETURNS TAB, DISPUTES and following the process.
