Does my Statement of Account indicate that I am being audited?

  Written by Marc   Posted 21 September 2015

I started with a new employer on 1 March 2014 and a full company vehicle is included in my package. Previously I neither had a company car, nor did I receive a travel allowance. My refund this year, as per my ITA34, is much more than in previous years. It seems that the company I work for also deducted almost R1000 per month too much fringe benefit tax from my salary if one compares the SARS calculation to the actual tax paid. I also did not log many private kilometres, since I am not office bound, as a sales rep, and often work from home...

SMS from SARS

  Written by Marc   Posted 21 September 2015

Dear sir/madam. SARS comes in at my workplace to help us submit tax returns. After submission, I receive a SMS indicating whether I am owed money or if I owe SARS money. If I submit my IRP5 at a SARS branch as opposed to submitting it to them when they come to my workplace, do they process it immediately?

Calculation of Transfer duty as a deemed VAT input

  Written by Evan   Posted 20 September 2015

How am I supposed to calculate the VAT input claim on a fixed property bought for R850 000?

The purchaser paid R3000 transfer duty to the seller. According to the articles I read online, the purchaser may claim the transfer duty as a VAT input. But now I'm confused as to what exactly the amount should be. May he claim R104 385.96 (R850 000 x 14/114) AND R3000 as a VAT input, or only R3000 as a input?

I have requested property owned by my husband to be transferred into my name. However, I have capital invested in the property - and can cover the outstanding bond installment.
