Two medical aids

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 October 2015

For the first four months of the tax year I belonged to a full medical aid deducted from my salary as part of cost to company. After that I was retrenched and joined a medical aid fund on my own. It is a hospital plan and not a full medical aid - does this still get filled in as a medical aid on the tax form (even though it is just a hospital plan)? If so, would I add the two amounts together to fill in as my medical aid deduction on the tax return or or they separate? - I know the work one has ...

Retirement annuity contributions - do I add two amounts next to 4006?

  Written by Evan   Posted 7 October 2015

I have received a tax certificate from Liberty regarding my retirement annuity. It states the total contributions I have made, SAID code: 4006. My employer also contributes to my retirement annuity and there is also contribution stated on my IRP5 with SAID code: 4006.

Do I add these two totals together or is the total contributions I made on the certificate from Liberty added separately?

Retirement Benefit of R500,000 Tax free

  Written by Marc   Posted 5 October 2015

How do I take advantage of the R500,000 tax free portion AT RETIREMENT? I was retrenched at age 54 and paid full tax on my retrenchment lump sum. Now that I am 56 and would like to retire on the funds in my pension preservation fund, I do not understand why the tax directive on the first R500,000 from my preservation fund was taxed. I have NEVER retired before so I should have the full R500,000 tax free ON RETIREMENT?? Numerous calls to the SARS call centre have me confused between benefits at ...

How do I submit 2007 return without documents?

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 September 2015

SARS is requesting that my husband submit a 2007 tax return. However, he was only working certain times during that tax period (as a freelance contractor) and has no IRP5. He contacted the company he worked for as well, and they have no record of a IRP5 as well. What do you advise him to do now if he has no documents for that tax period? He may be able to get a record of his retirement annuity contributions, but that is all.

Hi Tim, I have recently completed my tax return. I received a first assessment that said I owed SARS 7630 but I was selected for verification. After the verification process, I received another assessment that reflected R0 amount. But it appears I still owe the initial 7630. Firstly, I don't understand the different conclusions reached in the two assessments and why the first one appears to hold still. Second, my total taxable income for the year being assessed is unusual in the sense that it in...
