Valuable insight given to women at networking event
Hirsch’s Meadowdale hosts women’s networking event.
The owner of The Tax Shop Accountants, Marissa Burness, was the guest speaker at Hirsch’s Meadowdale’s recent Women in Business networking morning.
Marissa assists small businesses with bookkeeping, accounting, taxation and payroll, as well as helping to set up basic business plans that cover all areas of business.
“Marissa kicked off the morning’s event by discussing how to submit all types of company taxes.
“For 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,” said Chantelle du Plessis, public relations officer for Hirsch’s Meadowdale.
“There 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.”
“This 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,” said Marissa.

“Sars has downloadable logbook templates available.
“It 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.”
After Marissa’s talk, the women were given the opportunity to present themselves and their businesses to the attendees in a 60-second elevator pitch.
This was followed by some lucky draws, networking, sharing of business cards and refreshments.
