HI

I am using a company provided fuel card and my own car for business use.

My question to you lovely people is if I am using my own personal vehicle but the company pays for the petrol (PVT and business), can I claim wear and tear on the business usage? I have an up to date logbook and fleet statement for my vehicle from their petrol card to indicate millage of each refill.

The lady at SARS said that I can only claim if I had a travel allowance allocated to my IRP5, but when speaking to my HR department they have advised me that they pay for the petrol (which I can’t claim for) but I can claim wear and tear.

Where do I do this on my tax return if there is no allocation done under my IRP5 deductions (This area is greyed out with no amounts).
