Do I need to declare my foreign income on my ITR12?

Posted 6 August 2014

I was living and working outside of SA for more than 6 months in the last tax year. On the first page of the tax return, it asks if I was unemployed for the full tax year. I called an agent at SARS and explained that I was unemployed in SA but employed in the UK for the tax year. She asked if I have an IRP5, which I don't as I didn't work in SA for the tax year. She then said that I would then say that I was unemployed.

I am wanting to check if that is correct. I understand that my i...

SARS delayed claim on penalties?

Posted 5 August 2014

Yesterday 04 August 2014, SARS informed me, for the First Time, that there is a reoccurring penalty against me from 2007 - 2008. I resigned from my job as we were moving, so I only worked 2 months for that tax year earning only R9000.00 in total for the year.
I started to work again in 2011 and did my TAX returns, at that point SARS told me there where no outstanding penalties.
I have no proof of anything as legally I must keep papers for 5 years, thereafter I dispose of them.

Supporting documents requested from SARS - time and process?

Posted 5 August 2014

My tax return was submitted by my tax consultant on the 1st of July. On the 7th of July he informed me that SARS required supporting documents. I gave him the documents and (according to him) he submitted the documents to SARS. On the 30th of July I received a final notice to submit.

He says he is busy dealing with this and I should not worry. Should I worry? Why is this taking so long? Is it normal for a final letter if you submitted?

What does "SARS has issued correspondence which requires your attention" mean?

Posted 4 August 2014

I've received an email from SARS stating "SARS has issued correspondence for xxxxx which requires your attention, to view either navigate to the respective work page or the SARS correspondence menu". When I go to the correspondence menu it tells me "there are no records available for your selection". So what does this email mean if there's nothing there? I've submitted my return and received a refund 2 days later.
Many thanks
Carol

Owning a second property with no real rental income and the implications on tax

Posted 4 August 2014

I own a second property which is an apartment in a small block of flats. My in-laws are the tenants so I don't charge rent. However, they do pay the monthly levies for the apartment.

Expenses that I incur on the property are rates & taxes, bond interest and insurance. These expenses exceed the monthly levies....
