What % of total income amounts do we show in each IRP6 to ensure the rebates can be claimed twice

  Written by Marc   Posted 13 July 2014

Good day

Thanks for your tax articles. I have one basic question, please.

In the case of provisional tax paid for persons married in community or property, what income amounts does one enter into each IRP6 to ensure that one can claim the rebate twice. I have heard I should enter 100% of our total income in my IRP6 and 50% of that same income in my wife's IRP6?

Retirement & Provident Withdrawal Tax Refund

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

Good day, on the 25 January 2014 I changed employment and had a withdrawal from my previous employees Retirement and Provident funds of approximately R57200.00 each and I only got approx R42000 deposited in my bank on each. I was taxed on both payouts but does not seem like I am getting a refund on them. On my ITR12 I can see the one payout from Liberty (R57200.00 on source code 3920) but not the other and my issue is that my total rebate is only R 74.00. I really dont think this seems right?

Medical aid deduction?

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 July 2014

For part of the 2014 tax year my fiancé and I were part of Medihelp. He was the principal member thus the tax certificate is in his name, however the contributions were deducted from my bank account each month. Can he still include the medical aid on his tax return? Later on in the year we got married and everything is now in my name so we wont have a repeat, thank goodness.
