Out of pocket medical expenses deductions not showing on assessment

Posted 22 November 2015

I have completed my tax return via SARS eFiling and entered R10,200 rand worth of out of pocket medical expenses. When I click on "calculate" results I don't see any SARS reimbursements and the value SARS owes me doesn't change if I add and remove the out of pocket medical expense value. I don't see medical expenses on the calculated results on PDF it creates. Why is it being ignored?

Medical aid supporting documents

Posted 22 November 2015

SARS requested supporting documentation with reference to my medical expenses. Are you required to have the actual claims and payment receipts for medical expenses that were already covered by your scheme and appears on your tax certificate already (claims not recovered from the scheme)? For example, if SARS asked me for supporting docs would the tax certificate do? I don't have any other expenses - I submitted all my claims through my medical aid.

Home office Expenses disallowed

I'm a normal salary employee (not a commission earner) that work from home in a dedicated office 4 days a week, and I travel to the office one day a week.

Medical Aid and Annuity deductions

Posted 17 November 2015

Good afternoon. I have medical aid and a retirement annuity, which is registered under my name and details, but the payments are made in full directly by my employer.

Where do I get my tax directive?

Posted 16 November 2015

I got an IT34 notice. My tax status shows I need manual interference from SARS as they need a tax directive for the lump sum paid to me from a retirement fund. I received one IRP5 from my employer which includes my year's salary income as well as the retirement money. What happens now? Who is responsible for getting the tax directive? Shouldn't the retirement fund paid me directly and issued their own IRP5 to me?

Timeframe on Verification and Auditing?

Posted 16 November 2015

Hi there, I submitted my tax 2015 to my registered tax practitioners. I was told that SARS wanted verification on all supporting documents. I was further told that it would take up 3 months for SARS to verify the info. How is it possible that usually verification takes a 'quick look' and auditing takes 3 months? It sounds that I wax misinformed that verification should not take more than three months. If it were more than 3 months, then does it look like verification stage or auditing?

If verification was supposed to be a quick check, and there is a hold up on it - what is the likely cause to the delay of the refund?...
