\u201cMarissa kicked off the morning\u2019s event by discussing how to submit all types of company taxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, tax payers who receive a travel allowance from their employer can claim a Sars refund for the use of their private motor vehicle when they have travelled for business purposes,\u201d said Chantelle du Plessis, public relations officer for Hirsch\u2019s Meadowdale.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThere are two things which are essential in submitting a claim for business-related travel: a travel logbook and odometer readings on March 1, each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first day of the tax year and those who wish to submit for a refund need to ensure they keep a logbook throughout the year,\u201d said Marissa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSars has downloadable logbook templates available.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that without a logbook tax payers would not be able to claim for business travel as they will not have a valid claim.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Marissa\u2019s talk, the women were given the opportunity to present themselves and their businesses to the attendees in a 60-second elevator pitch.<\/p>\n

This was followed by some lucky draws, networking, sharing of business cards and refreshments.<\/p>\n
