Nedbank IT3(b) on my ITR12?
Posted 23 July 2014
Hi, Nedbank has posted me my IT3(b) Form and I see it has changed from last year, they now have an amount under 'Net Amount Accrued' which is added to the 'Net Amount Paid' to give total 'Interest' earned.

Do I pay tax on my pension savings that were transferred to a preservation fund when I resigned?
Posted 14 July 2014
I resigned from my job late last year. Upon resignation, I transferred my pension fund savings into a preservation fund with the same company that held my pension fund. My tax return shows the entire amount of my pension fund as income under source code 3920 - Lump Sum Benefit. Why is this declared as income when I have not received the money? Does this mean I will be taxed on my preservation of my pension fund savings?

Tax on interest when abroad
Posted 7 July 2014
Regarding the residency question - If you earn interest(South African source) with no other income, spend more than 183 days out of the country, will that interest be subject to tax. Lets assume the interest earned is R250 000 for the year. If this isn't tax free, would the opposite be true where by the interest is from a foreign source yet you are resident in SA but do spend more than 183 days out of the country.
