Travel Deduction Calculator
Travel Allowance Tax Calculator
Compare the deemed cost and actual cost methods to get the biggest deduction on your travel allowance.
How it works: If you receive a fixed travel allowance, 80% is included in your pay for PAYE, or 20% if at least 80% of your travel is for business. On assessment, you claim business travel using either SARS’s deemed cost table (based on the vehicle’s value) or your actual costs. Both need a logbook.
Frequently asked questions
Can I claim without a logbook?
No. SARS disallows travel claims without a logbook showing business kilometres.
Is travel between home and the office business travel?
No. Commuting is private travel.
