What to do when disability & medical on ITR12 is not part of ITA34 and received letter of completion

  Written by Marc   Posted 27 January 2016

Hello TaxTim, for the tax year 2015 I completed my ITR12 through e-filing on the 26-11-2015, including my disability totals.

Would I get the refund originally calculated after verification assessment is complete?

  Written by Marc   Posted 26 January 2016

When I submitted my tax return, I received an ITA34 informing me that I am due a R3 000 tax refund from SARS. Then I received a letter from SARS asking me for supporting documents, for verification assessment, which I had then submitted. Now I receive further correspondence regarding the verification assessment saying that "no adgustment has been made to the assessment". Does this mean I still get my R3 000 tax refund? And if so, by when can I expect payment of this refund?

Is SARS definition of 'taxable income' circular with respect to donations made?

  Written by Marc   Posted 26 January 2016

According to SARS, "Deductions in respect of donations to certain public benefit organisations are limited to 10% of taxable income (excluding retirement fund lump sums and severance benefits)". But taxable income is the difference between gross income and deductions, one of which is the amount donated. So the SARS definition is circular, and therefore impossible to calculate. Or am I missing something?
