How are provident funds taxed due to retrenchment

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

I was retrenched last year. Initially it was a dismissal but I won the case at CCMA and the dismissal was changed to retrenchment as the position was no longer available on the organisational structure. How was the provident fund supposed to be taxed?

Medical Tax Credits Calculation

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

Hi Tim,

I earn R4500 a month and I pay R700 a month for medical aid for myself. How many medical tax credits will I receive? At the moment if I am correct it is R257 for the main member
which equals 257*12 = 3084. Would that be roughly what I would get? I have been told that I cannot get more than R700 as that is my monthly contribution.

Do I pay PAYE on R5000 per month?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

Good day. I earn R5000 per month. My question is this, is there a need for PAYE deductions? And if I pay PAYE do I still need to personally pay tax to SARS at the end of every year? Please explain to me how this works. Is PAYE not already paying the tax you are liable for?

Previous year IRP5 submitted accidentally

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

Hi,

I submitted my tax return for 2015 on the 3rd July 2015, was due to receive a refund. After a couple of days of no refund, I called the help desk - apparently I did not submit any tax returns for 2009 & 2010 (my job during that time did not pay enough to warrant a tax return).

Anyways I requested the 2009 and 2010 tax return.... The 2010 tax return had all my details and I promptly submitted it with no issues, however my 2009 tax return, instead of selecting save (was b...

Why am I being audited when all my income, deductions and benefits are reflected on my IRP5?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

Hi Tim;

I recently completed and sent my tax return via SARS eFiling. I was selected for auditing and asked to provide supporting documents. I have nothing complicated going-on: I earn income only from my employer. All my benefits and deductions with respect to retirement fund and medical aid are all reflected on my IRP5 i.e. I don't have a personal retirement annuity or medical aid scheme outside of those in my salary package; as reflected on my IRP5. So what could be the problem?

How long after submitting supporting documents should you get your refund?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

My tax return is done by a tax consultant. He's been doing my tax for years without any problems. This year he submitted my tax return, and informed me that SARS asked for supporting documents. I only have my IRP5, RA and one income protection policy (that I am not even sure makes a difference). All this was submitted last week, and I have not heard anything since. How long does it take on average to review these documents?

Travel allowance section

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

I get reimbursed for travel allowance and it is put under code 3702. I have 2 questions:

2: My log book and the amount under 3702 don't match since the travel for the second half of Feb 2015 is actually only paid to me in March 2015.

Paye deduction calculations and rules

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

We only currently registered for PAYE, I want to know how we will go about calculating employees tax if our minimum salary is R2400 and maximum R7000. Which will leave us with a minimum yearly wage of R28800 and maximum R84000. Will we deduct employees tax from our employers or not and what do we do with SARS regarding this issue.
