I tried to claim for a home office, and on my tax return I got the message "Home office Expenses disallowed". No reason given.

I got an IT34 notice. My tax status shows I need manual interference from SARS as they need a tax directive for the lump sum paid to me from a retirement fund.

Shouldn't the retirement fund paid me directly and issued their own IRP5 to me?

Timeframe on Verification and Auditing?

  Written by Marc   Posted 16 November 2015

Hi there, I submitted my tax 2015 to my registered tax practitioners. I was told that SARS wanted verification on all supporting documents. I was further told that it would take up 3 months for SARS to verify the info. How is it possible that usually verification takes a 'quick look' and auditing takes 3 months? It sounds that I wax misinformed that verification should not take more than three months. If it were more than 3 months, then does it look like verification stage or auditing?

If verification was supposed to be a quick check, and there is a hold up on it - what is the likely cause to the delay of the refund?...

Is it better to buy or lease a vehicle for a commission earner?

  Written by Evan   Posted 16 November 2015

I am a real estate agent and require a vehicle to travel to appointments, etc. Would it be better to buy a vehicle (new or used) or lease a vehicle? My understanding is there are greater tax benefits in leasing (claim 100%) while buying a vehicle there is only a portion of the vehicle and interest you can claim. Is this correct? Which would you recommend?
