Tax on Employee and Employer Retirement Fund Contributions

Posted 16 March 2016

Regarding the new tax law on Employee contributions to retirement funds, is it correct to say that from the 1 March the employee portion of 7,5% and the employer portion of 8% must be included in the employee's gross salary and then taxed as a fringe benefit?

Refund audit

Posted 14 March 2016

I would just like to know is a refund audit quicker than the 60 days SARS gives themselves? I was audited and requested to send supporting documents the audit was complete and when I called in the call centre agent said all audits have been complete, it is now at the refund department and they give themselves another 60 working days to pay out. So my question is are they normally quicker when it comes to this 60 working days?
