Posted 26 October 2015

My question is how to structure your ctc package for tax purposes, for example my employers has only the following guidelines
Ctc=657 918 per annum. 70% must be taken as salary , the remaining 30% may be structured in a tax efficient manner.

Got ITA34 but not received anything further

Posted 25 October 2015

I submitted my tax return through SARS eFiling about 2 months ago. And I got an ITA34 about an hour afterwards. And on it says I owe a negative value which I assume means that they need to pay me, and it says that I've not been selected for an audit, and there hasn't been any request for supporting documents. But it's been 2 months and I've heard nothing, nor have I received any payment?

Will I be taxed on reimbursive travel allowance code 3703 or audited if no log book?

Posted 25 October 2015

I did not have a travel allowance however we were reimbursed by our employer for travel (under 8000). My IRP5 states that I received R17909 for code 3703 (reimbursive travel allowance). This is a substantial figure & I am sure it also then includes funds that were paid to my company diner's card for airfare. Will I be taxed on this amount, or is it non-taxable income? As I was not receiving a travel allowance I did not keep a log book. Was I supposed to?
