Could I claim all contributions and additonal medical costs for a dependant parent of 73?

  Written by Marc   Posted 23 September 2015

This question is about medical tax credits. I am a 73 year old pensioner. I thought that if I was a dependant on my son's Discovery medical aid, then he could claim form his tax the full contribution for me (being over 65) and also any additional medical costs I incur which are not covered by the medical aid (the full amount). Am I correct?
And I will tell my sons about this terrific service. Thanks

If my gross salary is R14000. And the employer now decides to join a pension fund and will contribute 5% and the other 5% will be a deduction from the employee. How much is the taxable income now?
Does it stay R14000 since the R700 now becomes part of the employees income and will be deducted before tax? and the employees contribution is just a normal deduction and not tax deductible?

Home Office property business expense calculations?

  Written by Marc   Posted 22 September 2015

We run a small hair salon from home for my wife, she does business as a sole-proprietor and the salon is her sole income source. I understand that we can deduct for ease of explanation 10% (amount of space occupied by the salon in relation to the whole property) from all rates and taxes, electricity etc. I am unsure about the interest/rent piece. Can the salon pay "rent" or can you just subtract 10% of the interest on the bond as business expense (bond is in my name). I've also read that deducting this piece as a business expense now can influence your Capital Gains Tax waiver amount when selling the property later on, is this the case?...
