Lump sum tax on backpay?
Written by Marc
Posted 26 August 2013
Hi Tim
I am employed by the Department of Education. Last year (2012) the DOE did not pay my salary for 6 months (April - September), I then received the 6 months salaries in a lump sum in April 2013. I was therefore heavily taxed on the lump sum. When can I claim back that tax, with this year's tax return or next year?

Can a non-resident South African citizen take out inheritance from SA?
Written by Marc
Posted 23 August 2013
I've lived out of SA for 22 years and have held dual nationality (SA and UK) for the last 12 years. I rarely visit SA and have not spent more than 3 weeks there in any of the last 20 years. My question is about inheritance. If I inherit in SA, will I be allowed to take my inheritance out of SA? I have never formally emigrated, still hold a SA passport in addition to my UK one and have no assets in SA. Would it make things easier if I renounced my SA citizenship?

Provisional tax Period 1 query
Written by Marc
Posted 22 August 2013
Hi. I am a provisional tax payer for the first time due to earning rental income greater than the threshold. I received (& was taxed on) a bonus from my employer in June this year. How do I treat the bonus payment on the provisional tax return (period 1)?
If I include it as part of taxable income, my tax payable is inflated as bonuses are taxed differently from normal income. Please advise.

I started working in January 2008 but never got given my IRP5 for the tax year ending Feb 2008. Now SARS has asked me for that IRP5. I've contacted my former employer but I'm not sure if they have it. What is the worst case scenario if they (my former employers) can't find it? SARS have said I must bring it before they pay anything out.
