Hi Tim
Your service is very helpful thank you!
I am an SA permanent resident spending 3-4 months per year in SA.
I have rental income from property in SA paid into my SA bank account.
I am also paid as an independent contractor by an SA company directly into my overseas bank account.
On my tax return:
I will claim the SA rental income and expenses.
Do I also declare the other income as foreign income with the associated overseas tax paid on it?...

My husband has an IRP5 from his employer and a income tax certificate from his medical aid. His work pays 50% of the medical aid and he pays 50%. But his 50% is deducted before he gets his wages. I am filling in a tax return for him and under Deductions on the IRP5 there are 3 amounts: codes 4003, 4005, 4474. I have filled that part in fine but the next page has Medical deductions from the taxpayer, there is a code 4040 to fill in, which I am not sure what to fill in. The amount on the medical a...

Nice site btw!!!
I have submitted my second version of ITR12 documents (Version 1 I accidently clicked file instead of save ...yes stupid me ).

I pay my mums medical aid contributions every month via debit order through my bank account. It will cost me more if I add her on as a dependant on my medical aid so I got her onto her own which she is the principal member. When filing my tax return, can I claim for this and do I add the tax certicate amount together with my medical aid tax certicate and put this in the column provided. I also pay my own medical aid for myself and 3 dependants. Must I also inform my employer who works on tax cre...

Good day, I have a very straight forward tax return: I have an income, I receive a monthly reimbursement towards medical expenses (my husbands company pays for my medical aid) This is added to my monthly income and taxed. I pay PAYE and UIF and my RA is deducted from my salary. I have never owed SARS money until this year. I cannot understand why I would owe SARS money now? It's a very small amount that SARS say I owe them, however I am sure there is a problem and would like to get to the bottom...

I have submitted tax returns for 2011, 2012 and 2013 to get it all up to date. 2013 was not audited and they owed me R3600. 2011 and 2012 I was also owed money, but had to submit supporting documents as they had doubled the medical aid amount for sum reason. The Status says the documents have been received but take up to 5 days to be assessed. Today I received a Refund of R600 and they took R3 000 as an Admin Penalty Fee. A bit extreme as I had received a letter saying the penalty fee would only...

I am a salaried, permanently employed person. I claim on a semester basis (based on what I pass), the module registration fees and textbook fees. Up until about a year ago, I would receive the full amount claimed from the company. Now I don't. When I queried this I was told that I am paying tax on the amount that I claim to the tune of 40% or something. I was also told that if I had allowed the company to register for me etc then obviously I wouldn't pay anything unless I fail a module.

Hi Tim, I received an IRP5 for provident fund for Year of assessment 2013. I included the amount of R416 363 (source code 3920) in my "income received" column, on the IRP5 they included this amount in the "Gross Non-retirement Funding Income" (source code 3698) column. However when I include it in this column on my return I get a message that the calculations does not add up.
I eventually included in the "Gross Retirement Funding income" (source code 3697) column (which is not correct) and they calculated it. BUT NOW my inital calculation was tax refund of R 4800 but after the second calculation I'm down to R0!! ...

Due to medical reason I am on early retirement and receives a monthly pension. With my lumpsum I bought a flat for R840 000.00 in July 2012. My rental income is R3500.00 a month for the period 01/08/2012 to 28/02/2013. My expenditures are as follows: Cost of transport was R26 737.00
Levies (period 13/07/2012--28/02/2013 ) was in total R5435.81.
Where and under what code do I fill in the amount? Can I deduct the expenditure as mentioned from my rental income?...
