Travel Allowances, Company cars, and Travel reimbursements are arguably the most difficult areas of payroll administration for employers to tax and administer correctly.
Consequently, they create a significant risk of penalties and interest in the event of non-compliance by your company. From experience, many employers are not aware that they are not complying with the law until their attention was drawn to the correct legal requirements.
Back again due to popular demand, and updated with the latest information and legal opinions, to help you to apply the provisions correctly, a comprehensive morning seminar will be presented on 17 July 2026 by Rob Cooper that discusses all aspects of Travel Allowances, Company Cars, and Travel Reimbursements in full.
Course Content
What you will get from the seminar is:
- The legal framework explained in simple terms
- SARS important rulings
- Step-by-step details of the administration and tax requirements
- Practical examples to make the provisions clear
- ‘Best practice’ recommendations
- A detailed workbook for later reference purposes.
