Medical expense claims, for wife dependent on me to pay her subscriptions

Posted 17 July 2015

When I got married five years ago my wife was not a member of a medical scheme and I got her to join a scheme, not the one I belong to as it was too expensive. I pay the subscriptions, monthly via a debit order on my cheque account. Also she is financially dependent on me. Can I claim her medical expenses on my tax submission? I am over 65 years old.

When am I getting paid?

Posted 17 July 2015

I have submitted my tax returns through SARS e filing on the 3rd july 2015 and then was asked for supporting documents which I then submitted on the 10th July 2015. I still have not received my payments. Please advice

What does this message mean by approving my returns and epayment of R4,924.95. Do I have to pay or w

Posted 17 July 2015

I have received an email from SARS saying

We have approved your tax returns and epayment of R4,924.95 made into your account
Click below to check for confirmation

then they put the link.

When I am clicking on the link I have to choose the bank I'm using then they ask for username password. They take my password, my cellphone no and email address, then ask for same thing again and again.

Is this a scam?

2008 tax return outstanding

Posted 17 July 2015

Good day,

Every year since 2009 I have been doing my SARS eFiling and lucky enough, getting a refund paid to me. Now this year 2015 SARS says I have an outstanding tax return from 2008? Why wasn't it picked up last year when I was Audited?

Will I now be penalised for this? Even though I did pay my taxes. I have requested a tax return on SARS Efiling for 2008, just awaiting IRP5 from my company.

Deductible company expenses

Posted 16 July 2015

For many years I operated as a sole Proprietor. Early 2014 I registered a PTY Ltd and duly traded as the PTY LTD. As executive director, by choice I did not draw any salary, the idea being that this would help the company cashflow by saving more working capital. I paid for all vehicle expenses ie fuel, maintenance, privately out of my savings, but approximately 90% of the vehicle use and expenses are attributable to the PTY LTD business. Is there any way that these expenses can be recovered from...

Motor Bargaining council levies, were deducted, but I was never registered

Posted 16 July 2015

My employer was deducting Motor council levies, but I was never registered. They said I will not get my levies back to me. I had to approach the Motor Bargaining council to get the motor levies paid back to me, and was paid as a cash deposit, instead of on line banking transfer. Surely, the money that was originally deducted from me, went to another account, or invested elsewhere, how did they manage to do their tax return. Is there any way, that I should report this matter to SARS, etc?

Haven't received my return 7 days after an IT34 was issued

Posted 16 July 2015

I submitted my tax stuff on SARS eFilling exactly 7 days ago today. SARS responded promptly with an IT34 notice, which indicated that I'm due to receive a tax return (which was a negative amount, not sure what that means. Do I owe SARS or do they owe me?). Now I still haven't received the money (7 days later). What could be the problem?

ITA34 issued but no ITSA

Posted 16 July 2015

I submitted my 2015 tax return. My refund was not paid out because they said I need to submit my 2010 tax return and I went to the SARS branch and filed manually. I received an ITA34 but no ITSA and in audit or verification is says N.

Will I get the refund even though I didn't get my ITSA?

Logbook as evidence

Posted 16 July 2015

First a refund now I owe them

Posted 16 July 2015

Hello
I submitted my tax return and it said that I was due a refund of about R800. I then went through my medical expenses and saw I made a mistake in my calculations. So I went and corrected it (originally my medical expenses out of pocket was R8900, after I corrected it it was about R8200). Now it says I owe them about R200! I do not earn enough to do e-filing in the first place, I submit because of my medical expenses. Please help?!

Incorrect income code on IRP5. 3601 instead of 3616

Posted 15 July 2015

Hi TaxTim,

Appreciate the brilliant service!

I'm an Independent Contractor who initially submitted my tax return on Monday, this week. After getting my ITA34 a couple of hours later, I realised that certain expenses had not been included. A day later, I went in to a SARS branch to submit a revised tax return. Upon getting home the same day, I received an e-mail from work that stated that they had incorrectly entered my income on code 3601 instead of 3616. Will SARS allow m...

Problem with logbook

Posted 15 July 2015

Hi there. Please can you help? I don't normally claim travel allowance or petrol, so this was a once-off thing. This is now indicated on my IRP5, but I don't have a log book. And I have to submit it to SARS as I have been selected for an audit. Do I have to claim it or can I request a correction and remove it from my tax return? Please help. Thanks
