Short, plain answers to what South African business owners ask us most.
Do you work with courier, freight and taxi operators?
Yes. TBL Accounting handles bookkeeping, payroll for drivers and crew, VAT, provisional and income tax and fuel, fleet and cost tracking for couriers, freight and last-mile operators and taxi businesses.
How can a transport business manage late-paying clients?
With credit control and debtor chasing, plus cash-flow forecasting for lumpy revenue, so late payments do not leave you unable to pay fuel and wages. We also support financing and asset-finance applications.

Yes. Wear-and-tear and capital allowances apply to vehicles, and we work them out as part of your income tax.
