Scale for determining the costs of traveling
2006 - 2007

Right of use of motor vehicle
The monthly fringe benefit is computed at 2,5% of the determined value of the first vehicle and 4% of each additional vehicle. Should a travel allowance be granted, the right of use of a motor vehicle will be 4% of the determined value.
The determined value is the cash cost (excluding VAT) of the vehicle or the market value in the case of a lease or donation. The cost is reduced by 15% for each year from the date of acquisition by the employer to the date the employee was granted the use of the vehicle.
Traveling allowance
The allowance may be paid at fixed monthly rate or per kilometre. PAYE on 60% of the allowance is deductible where allowance is not based on actual business travel costs.
The allowance can be based on actual figures, where detailed costs and travel records are kept; deemed costs per table and actual kilometres where a logbook is kept or deemed figures for both where only the total kilometres travelled during year are required. Where totla kilometres are used, the first 18 000km and those in excess of 32 000km are deemed private.
