Hey, so I've taken a load of advice from this website so finally decided to jump in and register. Hopefully I can give something back somewhere along the line. Also, I need more advice! 
There are a load of threads about car and travel allowances and I can't really make sense of it. I am getting a travel allowance of R7500 over and above my basic salary and am trying to work out how much I actually have to work with when I go shopping
I also get a rate per km traveled for business.
I know about the 18 000 km personal use (or there abouts) and will rack up enough km to justify the allowance but I don't want to go spend the whole allowance then end up paying in from my basic after tax nor do I want to have to pay in when I do my return.
Can anyone explain (simply) how tax works on these things? I've read about 80% and all manner of things!
Thanks for any guidance here!
