Sars logbook for new tax year now available

If you use your car for business purposes, you can claim a travel allowance. To enable you to do this accurately, get a copy of the South African Revenue Service (Sars) logbook at your nearest Sars office or download it here.

Remember to record your mileage each time you use your vehicle. If you haven’t already taken your odometer reading, do so now, because you’ll need to record this as at March 1 this year. Your opening and closing readings will show total kilometres travelled for the year. This will help you to make an accurate claim.
