How to get a tax number as a university student tutor?

Posted 9 August 2014

I am a student at a university and I have been given a tutoring position, I was told that I will be getting R1500 a month for a 4 month contract and that I need to get registered at SARS for a tax number in order for them to be able to pay me. My question is that how do I go about getting registered at SARS(required documents and information they will ask for) and under which category of employees do I fall under?

Do I submit an IPR6 form with my optional 3rd payment for provisional tax?

Posted 7 August 2014

On your provisional tax page, you say "two (or optionally three) payments are made during the tax year at the end of August and end of February, with an IRP6 required for each one."

There are IRP6 forms in eFiling for 2014-01 and 2014-02, but nothing for 2014-03. Do I need to submit an IRP6 form with my third payment (and, if so, where can I find that form in e-filing?), or do I just pay the additional money with no form?

SARS delayed claim on penalties?

Posted 5 August 2014

Yesterday 04 August 2014, SARS informed me, for the First Time, that there is a reoccurring penalty against me from 2007 - 2008. I resigned from my job as we were moving, so I only worked 2 months for that tax year earning only R9000.00 in total for the year.
I started to work again in 2011 and did my TAX returns, at that point SARS told me there where no outstanding penalties.
I have no proof of anything as legally I must keep papers for 5 years, thereafter I dispose of them.

Supporting documents requested from SARS - time and process?

Posted 5 August 2014

My tax return was submitted by my tax consultant on the 1st of July. On the 7th of July he informed me that SARS required supporting documents. I gave him the documents and (according to him) he submitted the documents to SARS. On the 30th of July I received a final notice to submit.

He says he is busy dealing with this and I should not worry. Should I worry? Why is this taking so long? Is it normal for a final letter if you submitted?

What does "SARS has issued correspondence which requires your attention" mean?

Posted 4 August 2014

I've received an email from SARS stating "SARS has issued correspondence for xxxxx which requires your attention, to view either navigate to the respective work page or the SARS correspondence menu". When I go to the correspondence menu it tells me "there are no records available for your selection". So what does this email mean if there's nothing there? I've submitted my return and received a refund 2 days later.
Many thanks
Carol

Owning a second property with no real rental income and the implications on tax

Posted 4 August 2014

I own a second property which is an apartment in a small block of flats. My in-laws are the tenants so I don't charge rent. However, they do pay the monthly levies for the apartment.
Since I don't charge rent, would the monthly levies that they pay be seen as an income to me from the apartment? (As the owner of the property, I would normally have to pay this). Expenses that I incur on the property are rates & taxes, bond interest and insurance. These expenses exceed the monthly levies....
