Could SARS refund my tax to a UK bank account or does it have to be to a SA account?

  Written by Marc   Posted 28 August 2013

Hi Tim,
I worked in South Africa last year as UK citizen and have put in a tax return. It's calculated quite a bit back but now I have a message that reads 'AVS Bank with AVS verification pass'. I am back in the UK and SARS have said I can make someone power of attorney on my behalf, which I have duly done. They have agreed to take my paperwork to the SARS office with certified copy of my passport and my last ABSA bank statement.

My question is, to make life easier could SARS refund my tax to a UK bank account or does it have to be to my South Africa ABSA account?...

Provisional tax Period 1 query

  Written by Marc   Posted 22 August 2013

Hi. I am a provisional tax payer for the first time due to earning rental income greater than the threshold. I received (& was taxed on) a bonus from my employer in June this year. How do I treat the bonus payment on the provisional tax return (period 1)?
If I include it as part of taxable income, my tax payable is inflated as bonuses are taxed differently from normal income. Please advise.

How to calculate Tax Refund if over 65 with a disabled dependent

  Written by Marc   Posted 22 August 2013

I am completing my father's Tax Return for him. He is over 65 and has a dependent, my brother, who is mentally disabled. I have indicated this as such on the return and can see from the calculation that the full medical amount listed is shown as a deduction from the taxable amount.

Am I understanding the med...

How to declare foreign salary on ITR12 form

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 August 2013

Hello Tim,

I earned a SA salary and lived in SA until September last year, afterwards I went back abroad/overseas to my home country and worked there. I already submitted my SARS ITR12 form and I did not mention my foreign earned salary income because it is already taxed abroad and I also could not find the section to add this amount on the ITR12 form. Now my ITR12 form is under verification and I have to submit all relevant forms. Does SARS need my foreign payment slips and do they need my foreign bank statement with the interests?
