An employee who spends part of a day away from the office is entitled to claim actual expenses incurred whilst away from the office (supporting documentation required). All such claims will be subject to the employee’s tax should the amount claimed exceed the current SARS rate of R152 per day. Claims in excess of the SARS daily rate (R152 per day) paid on or before the 14th of every month will be taxed in the current month. Claims paid after the 14th will be taxed in the following month.

When completing a claim for expenses incurred whilst away from the office for part of the day, staff must ensure that they select the Day Travel Incidentals expense category. Please see attached documents for more information:

• PeopleSoft navigation and examples
• Frequently asked questions on Daily Travel Incidentals.

If you have any expense report enquiries, please contact your Faculty Accountant.

Should you have any queries relating to employee’s tax, please contact Izandri Coetzee in the Payroll division at [email protected].
