Tax refund/rebate dating back to about 7 years

Posted 13 January 2013

I have heard so many great things about you, I hope you can assist me too. Until today, I was not aware that one can actually contact SARS directly to enquire about a possible refund. I have always been under the impression that they would contact or notify the taxpayer and then mystified when they actually did not.

SARS appointed my employer as agent?

According to SARS I have penalties of R22 250. I only discovered this recently after becoming more educated about the whole tax thing and investigated my own SARS status etc. Naturally I had to update my details and they now know where I work. 3 weeks ago, my employer received a letter saying something about appointment of agency and that she had to pay R1 500 per month over to SARS, in order to pay the penalties.

What is my claimable medical contribution as a pensioner?

Posted 3 January 2013

I am a pensioner and my part of my medical contribution is paid by my pension fund from my previous employer. I don't see any of this reflected on the IRP5 from my pension fund, but I do get a medical certificate from Discovery indicating the full contributions, along with a letter from the pension fund indicating what was paid by said pension fund.

What is claimable? The full contribution, or only the amount that I pay?

Expense boundaries and amounts on section 4016

Posted 3 January 2013

Hi Tim

Awesome website!

I earn my income on commission and am often entertaining clients, paying for coffee at meetings and lunches, client gifts etc - all part of the relationship building process.

Because of what I have submitted on section 4016, I have been selected for audit. I have kept all my receipts for client entertainment. Can I just submit these receipts and what are the limits here?

Also I have also claimed for bank charges and client production costs. Is this within the boundaries of 'expenses incurred in the production of income?'...

Employer that didn't register me for tax?

Posted 3 January 2013

I have been working for my current employer for a few years now already and she has not registered me for tax. I earn about R84 000 a year excluding any commissions I might get during each month ranging anywhere from R1500 - R3000. What procedure can I follow in order to get my TAX number? and will I be penalized for her having not registered me for so long? I was not so clued up on the income TAX requirements until recently.
